Why would you waste your money on a stock clutch if your going to race the car and probably mod it later?? Also 2nd gen t-cases are stonger on vr4's aluminum v.s cast iron. The only good thing about 93 vr4 is the 5sp, 4 bolt main package.

cast iron? i pulled a transfer case out of my friend 95 and it was aluminum. i thought the 93 25 spline was the strongest.

i needed the car to get back to school and was in a hurry - they had the stock clutch there already so it just needed to be installed. i got it done at my fiances work cheap, his boss hooked me up, like, for everything i payed shy of 1400

they arent bad but she plans on modding more so it doesnt make sense to go stock.

WOW! 1400 for a stock clutch and install? Did you get a flywheel too? I paid 1200 for an act clutch, flywheel and install.

ouch... I wouldn't say you got hooked up at all, taken for a ride is more like it.

why would you put another stock clutch, especially a used one in there? should have put an exedy twin in for another couple hundred. now its gonna cost you how much again when you have to swap that used stocker out. :screwy:

blewby u 01-13-2009 11:04 AM

damn - yeah i did get the flywheel machined. yeah, it's gonna end up costing me a lot more now. the clutch was new though, not used.

You could try 2 steps? Sounds kinda cool too.

stock clutch and launch control do not like each other... Period.

and tons of other goodies not on sc ones. :mad:

Vr-4-Life 01-13-2009 09:17 PM

screw launch control... im sure its nice to have but why let the car do the driving for you? i think that getting that perfect launch in yourself is rewarding

blewby u 01-13-2009 09:18 PM

well, that makes me frustrated

I launch my AWD Talon on a 5500 2-step quite a bit. As others are saying, the trick to it is to slip it just until you start to move and then let it out quickly. Got a 1.69 60 foot last time I was at the track, and that was on some 6 year old tires.

silviadriftworld 01-15-2009 11:56 PM

4 wheel guys don't need launch control, ..... just gas it and dump the damn clutch..

daisaw1219 01-25-2009 08:34 PM

rev to 5k and dump on the stock clutch. If you want a true launch you have to go aftermarket clutch

silver05bullet 01-25-2009 11:30 PM

you can slip the clutch till it grabs then just let go with the stock clutch its not going to last that long
