Took a lot longer than expected but the clutch and flywheel specs/measurements are finally finalized finally. Protos are paid for and in the works now, 4-6 weeks out.
The factory clutch and flywheel total out to over 50 lbs. That’s not going in my car if you paid me.
There are very few clutch options in the aftermarket. Because the factory setup uses a flex plate, to switch to an aftermarket clutch you also need to change to a new flywheel made by the same company as the clutch. So if you find you don’t like the clutch from that brand, changing is going to be a bigger investment as you need to toss out the flywheel as well. This means I don’t want to take a gamble on the few options that already exist and none of them check all the boxes I’d like anyways.
So we’re working with SpeedSport on a carbon/carbon clutch and flywheel that does check all the boxes. Should be good for way more torque and heat than the factory clutch with much less rotational mass yet similar to stock pedal feel and easy to drive.
