my stage 3 ;-c

[turbolude]

i installed my stage 3 clutch abt 1500 miles ago and now tht i try to beat on it, it hardly churps in 2nd and i keep hearing storys about everyone stage 3 churping in 2nd and 3rd. and i even have a 10 pound flywheel. i got a new master and slave cylinder put on during the install do you think something needs adjusting?

shift quicker, get stickier tires

say if i shift at 6500 and beat it into send it hardly churps. maybe my rims is jus heavy or sumn..idk

Are you smelling anything? Stinky metal??

Stage 3 what? "Stage 3" is not a universal rating. A cheap shit "Stage 3" clutch will probably be worse than a quality OEM replacement.

And it's spelled "chirp", not "churp".



And stickier tires? No... if you want them to "churp"... get hard tires that don't grip. They'll break free easily.

no im not smelling anything.. i was supposed to do my turbo install this weekend but i didint do it i wanted everything to be perfect.. idk if im jus being dramatic abt it. this is my first stage 3 so maybe im jus expecting too much

f1 but everyone i kno and every forum i read they say how good it grips. maybe my car dnt have enough power to be chirpin like that? but my stock clutch seem like it was gripping harder

ok well forgive me for saying stickier, but i meant new tires fresh rubber or alot of thread cause usually when your thread is low it wont chirp only slip

lol, if anything if you just want to chirp tires, you should have put the stock flywheel in it and get some cheap chinese tires that squeel easily.

ive got mine to chirp with a lightened flywheel by doubling clutching it or not letting off the gas when i shift. this is basic physics, think about why a tire chirps.

Yeah, you installed a shit clutch. Good job, sparky.
Next time, get a real clutch. That thing is probably worse than the one it replaced.

Hopefully you'll get to enjoy your turbo a little before that clutch gives out on you.

i did the same when i bought my first cb.bought the stage 3 blue f1 racing clutch.and after the breakin period it was slippin and would not grab for shit.and after a while the springs in the center of the clutch broke out of the housing.screwed every thing up.it even poped out a couple of the forks in the presser plate.so if i were u i would get a exedy clutch and swap them out right away.

people seem to have nothing but good things to say about this clutch

Well, if you read it on the interwebz, then it has to be true!

Honda-Tech is full of fucking ricers. Dont ever get on that website again unless there is a very helpful article on the performance of your car. 99% of the information you need lies here.

I bought an Exedy stage 1 and I am very sure it grabs a hell of a lot better than that F1 you are using. If you want a REAL clutch then it has to be ACT, Exedy, and all of the other brand name manufacturers. If it says XTD, XTR, F1, or any of that cheap ebay shit, stay away from it. You might as well go ahead and save some money for a new clutch and yank that old one out. Make sure you send it back to the seller.

I've heard nothing but good things about LSD motorsports clutches. And mostly from guys with turbo cars. I'd look them up. Also, XTD's aren't terrible for chinaman parts, but they aren't nearly as good as a quality brand like exedy.
