Clutch Disc

[desmo4]

Does anyone have a suggestion on what clutch disc to use? I am on my second one, the original and the Honda recall one. I am looking for something which is superior to the stock part. I have a Mugen flywheel which was installed with the recall clutch disc.

Jonathan, I have the Spoon disc and plate, along with the lightened flywheel. These pieces, as best I could tell, are/were modified OEM Honda pieces and the disc has stiffer springs.

I have driven a car with the Star Stage 2 clutch and it's very sweet. The pedal isn't as light as the OEM-equipped car might be, but it's engagement is very impressive. It just may get tiresome in stop and go traffic.

I have also driven Scott Zellner's S2000 equipped with all the Mugen goodies and the pedal was like butter. I don't think this car, due to its relatively low torque rating, needs a big heavy stiff clutch. I think the pedal should be light, which contributes to the nimble feel that the car inspires in the driver...

You're off to a good start with the Mugen flywheel...my suggestion would be to complete the setup with Mugen. Can't go wrong with that stuff. And don't forget about the 5% discount at King Motorsports this month. That may help you make a decision.

Let us know what you end up with...!

It's' my Star Clutch that Greg drove and I just love it. Its also a little less forgiving than the OEM. It's a semi-On/Off clutch but not as much as a racing clutch.

I LOVE it.

I just noticed I said "Mugen flywheel" but in fact I have a Mugen pressure plate.

I have a Clutchmasters Stage 4 and a Toda flywheel. Once I got used to the feel and stopped stalling on a regular basis, I loved it. It's very hard on the rest of the drivetrain though. On... or off. Not much in between.
