Car: Drifting ruined my life since 03' 240sx CA18DET

Post

Just a heads up on the Exedy "stage 1"= OEM replacement - KA24 I had just put a brand new one in my 240sx with the swap, the flywheel was not colored or in any sorta way or unhappy looking, so on it went. Ive driven my car for probly 1200miles( give or take) since installed, i broke it in, then drove it moderatly hard but very rarly max (no clutch kicks, mostly hand brake slides), so tonight my boss was burning out and doing donuts infront of the shop and i get in my car to do a simple VLSD warm up (power brake) so he can see some slides................nothing but clutch slippage i do this at drift event some times to get my vlsd locking up for a run and when it was the SOHC stock beast it didnt slip this soon. So i thought id just let you guys/girls know that if your into drifting or you drive your slightly modded CA hard then you might wanna consider something better.since im already posting.....anyone have a sugestion on what clutch i should buy...PS..im not rich

well i mean i still think it shoulda lasted long but that clutch is design for the ka24e, which makes wat? 120-130 hp? i went with a centerforce dual friction clutch for the ka on my CA and its been holding up great, and was only like $250

Get ahold of Max, [email protected] (I think he's with illeagal garage, but not sure) he can hook you up. He even sells CA clutches. I haven't driven mine yet, but the quality looked great and it fit perfect.
