  • Question : F1 Racing Clutch/Flywheel kit from gripforce

    F1 Racing Clutch/Flywheel kit from gripforce.com

    Anyone use or have experience with them?

    I have read both Great and terrible reviews?

    I know you get what you pay for and they cost less, just wondering if anyone has ever used one and how it felt/lasted?

      What kind of incredible BHP/Tq numbers are you producing to use anything more than a stock clutch setup?

              I need at least something initially to piece my swap together and for $200 this will get me by?

                Wow, that's only $200? Where at? I know my clutch in the 91 slips from time to time as it is so stock isn't working out for me. Ceramic would rock, especially being pucked. I think I want to go with a 4 puck when I get one though. A lighter disc = easier on the synchros, and with a 284, anything easier on synchros is a good thing. Have you googled that clutch to find reviews on it yet?
