Default DJ Come in please!

What clutch are you going with now? My car is in need of a clutch that will handle the gas when I deciede to put it on my car? I was thinking eather the Spec duel or the McCloud racing duel or what ever you have now?
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks man, I love the car but I cant find a clutch that will hold the power so far, my spec 5 only got 3k miles and now I can floor it in any gear and peg the rev limiter

Switch to an auto and solve all these clutch b.s. problems and watch your E.T.'s drop too!!

I give Dennis one more chance to try a different clutch and then I see a built auto from RPM in his future!

I feel the same way, but DJ loves the 1 to 1 hammering on the open road. Some say that he even "luv2spd"

An auto in that car would slaughter most competitors if he decided to step outside the box.

DJ...ya listenen'

I would look into the spec dual disc. That will be my next one. But for now the spec 5 single disc still holds with ~1k to the wheels
