Should Gruppe-S warranty my clutch?
Should Gruppe-S warranty my clutch?
We went out to the track....
I did one easy easy launch... 2.4 60ft i think...shifting real slow...and shifting under redline @ about 7k or so...just tryying to feel the car out...making sure it has no misfires or funny stuff...first pass 12.1@ 126.5mph
Second pass:
Still a real soft launch...but this time i shifted normal ans went to redline...about 7500 rpm or so...
As soon as the car got into 3rd gear the motor spun the clutch...no noise..no smoke...no smell...just death of a clutch..the POS Exedey hyper single JUNK
Mike sure setup/tuned the car great, the car drives amazing...+1 for the crew @ Gruppe-S.
The new clutch will be in soon
I owe the guys @ the shop for doing this car for me
WOW is all i can say.

12.1 with conservative shifting and not to redline? .. very nice, and yea ... why did you get hypersingle. With your power a twin plate clutch is pretty much a must. You'll get a better time too.

well, I would not say gruppe-s should warranty the clutch, but I would follow up with Exedy about it if they claim the clutch can handle 600+ crank HP.

How many miles did you have on the clutch?
If I'm not mistaken there is a break in period that is supposed to be observed.
I've had friends take new clutches out to the drags and roast them because they had no mileage on them...
