Re: opinion Mx3 clutch
ok dude seriouly DO NOT BUY that clutch its a piece of s--- i had bought one when i did my klze swap because i knew i needed one and i tought it wasent expensive so i bought it... its a complete waste of money... the clutch was done after 2 mounts so i had to change it so what i would say is buy a good one the first time and youll save money... right now i have a bully stage 3 6 puck clutch and its really good... it never sliped once...so i would say buy a good one the F1 racing clutch SUCKS...
sorry about all that fustration comming out but it feels good

Re: opinion Mx3 clutch
I went with a clutchmasters stage 1 from RR-racing.com If you choose to go there do NOT get the stage 2...stage 1 is fine for a ZE w/o boost, if you plan on boosting it will hold up for awhile depending how much you push but it is recommended you upgrade to a Stage 3.
ACT clutches are also rated well, but pucked clutches are harder to drive with.
Make sure whatever you pick you follow the proper break in period - about 700+miles with NO launches, revs below 3000 rpms and plenty of stop/go driving. Better the break in period, the longer your clutch will last. Also resurface your flywheel or get a new lightweight one!

Re: opinion Mx3 clutch
i am with mooneggs on this one, i have a exedy clutch and love it. i too autocross and it has held up just fine. it doesnt slip at all mated to the ze even after 2 years of aggresive driving. stick with a less aggressive clutch and save your tranny
