Has anyone ever used the clutchmaster FX300 before? I'm looking to purchase a new clutch/flywheel for my JDM ITR motor & I'm going to be dropping in CAMS/ETC soon. I'm kinda holding back on which clutch/flywheel to buy. [ACT/EXEDY/ACTION/COMPETITION/ETC]



The FX300 System uses the Power Plus I Pressure Plate with the Steel Back Segmented Kevlar disc. This clutch is designed for the ultimate street enthusiast or weekend racer running a normally aspirated car equipped with cylinder head work and/or hotter cam(s), or with medium-boost turbo or super-charger, or up to 100hp NO2. The FX300 features only slightly increased pedal pressure (overstock components), long life disc and smooth engagement.

 

i have this in my swapped hatch actually a local clutch shop made it. it grabs real good and pedal pressure is near stock "no popeye leg here" with this clutch i can spin the whole of second on street tires and chirp third. one time i got 4th to chirp. and for those who dis believe i am making lesss than 10 whp away from the 200 whp mark all motor and am in the 13's ( could do bway better but was having some issues) but doing a bigger build. so yeah this is a great clutch setup. you would not be disappointed.

 

fidanza flywheels are a great product also which i have along with the clutch.

 

I heard about the fidenza flywheels, but what do you guys think about the 7.5lb one? anyone rocking this? I also wouldn't mind getting my ITR flywheel re-surfaced.

Also what is the best break in method for a clutchmaster FX300 clutch? 500 normal miles with shifts under 3000RPM?

i have a clutchmaster stage 3 too with 85x89 ls vtec that put down 210whp/150wtq...Nice clutch for stop and go trafic and for the drag strip

 

i broke mine for a 1,000 miles of easy driving with out getting on it hard.

 

For those running this clutch, which site/store did you purchase it from?

 

I purchased one from http://www.sportcompactwarehouse.com. They had one drop shipped from Titan Motorsports. Shipping was pretty brisk.

 

ebay for me

 

I love this clutch. Even my wife likes driving this clutch better than her Exedy 8950 (Stage II)

I am running an Exedy Stg3 lightweight disc with a Fidanza 7.5lb flywheel and love the combination. You will hear a lot of nay-sayers complain about lightweight clutch/flywheel assemblies, but they are either pansies or have never driven one. To be honest, my car became easier to drive with the lighter assembly.
