This is the reason people call you guys fanboys and nut huggers. You'll take ANY product that ZPI sells and assume it is the best in class. Travis, I'm really surprised that you didn't go with another clutch option for your ultimate power goals in mind.
That's just
I may not be on any side, but I think your comments are just hate. U have u'r thread, go with it, let Travis with his. Don't be a hater and go ramble to another place. rhythmnsmoke was just posting his clutch option. Do you have to threadjack everything ZPI related? I think u are just jelous that things went alright with other peoples things. If you have your pretty setup then go with it by all means, but stop HATING!

That's just

1) You Don't own this clutch.

2) You are a Hater

3) Brian Has the Very SAME clutch in his tC + the flywheel. If it was CHATTER Prone...HE WOULD HAVE TOLD ME!! DEEE...DEE..DE.

Move along bro, you just be making crap up.

Nut Huggers, there you go with that word again. Don't get it twisted....

ZPI does not have Nut Huggers.....They have SOLIDERS! And you can consider me a damn 5 STAR GENERAL!

Now that's Just TOO Funny! Suck Quencher! OMG!....

Ok, back on topic.

If this clutch holds all of Brian (J3st3r)'s Built motor tC it should laugh at the HP in our car and beg for more. Even the old one Held all the HP (which didn't have CHATTER either by the way).



PS....What boosted tC driver drives slow enough to hear clutch Chatter anyway IF there were any?....

Clutch Chater?

Deffinitly NOT!

I was the first person to use this clutch. I have no clatter at all since its been installed since febuary. This clutch will hold a TON of power.

Dont make me meet you up and take your A$s for a ride to prove it aint chatering

Besides AJ, If he got a clutch that will slip / not hold power, then it should be easier for you to " beat " travis

We haven't had a Five star since WWII. You'd be better off being a Four Star, and once I'm up to par, I'll be your Command Sergeant Major or Sergeant Major of FI (^_^)

Don't buy clutch sets that include an organic disc and you won't have to worry about glazing. Look for something with a kevlar (or something similar) disc and it'll handle heat a lot better. I fried two organic ZX2 discs (one in under 8k miles... on an N/A ZX2 nonetheless) before buying a Spec 2 setup that included a kevlar disc. Haven't had a slip or worry yet, even with boost.

LOL, you're right, I just got here... But no, I'm not no damn 2nd Lieutenant... Consider me an E-5 Sergeant, since I spent E-1 through E-4 getting INTO cars and tuning mine. Once I get more experienced, and about a year passes, I'll be Sergeant Major!

I don't know. I would hope so given the aftermarket is a ton bigger than the ZX2 aftermarket.

Yeah, but the car is only 2 years old roughly. I'm not sure we have enough Heavy Hitters yet, so no one has produced a Kevlar one. I would also imagine that the price of the clutch would place it out of many Scion drivers "reach" (buying power) as this community is filled with mostly young minimum wage tuners/enthusiast.

But I admit though, it would be cool to see...

Well my Spec "Stage 2" clutch kit for my ZX2 cost a whole $289 + shipping. Can't be that expensive to make a kevlar disc...
