Single Mass Lightweight Racing Clutch

[Unitah]

Hey, interesting idea...

I need a new engine in my 2002 C4 Cab, RMS failure. Anyway, my mechanic told me, since the car races a full season of DEs and Autocrosses, that I single mass, lightweight racing clutch would definitely improve performance. I was wondering what everyone thinks of this. Has anyone tried one of these? What could the drawbacks be? I would have it installed when the engine is replaced prior to next racing season.

Any thoughts??

It will be a little noisier and a little more touchy to engage but not a big problem. Rev matching on down shifts will require more care, since the revs fall off as fast as they spool up.

Is there any particular clutch, fly wheel combo you recommend? Will the car's computer need to be reprogrammed?

I'm very glad that your dealer is replacing your engine, since you're known to race it. I've heard about alot of warranty claims refused for rather specious reasons (including mild DE use), so your case is refreshing (although I'm sorry you needed a new engine in the first place).

Best one I know of is the flywheel from the GT3 Mk 1 Club Sport and GT3 RS, only available in ROW.

If I go with the original GT3 Club Sport's flywheel and clutch, will I need to reprogram my cars computer at all? Or is it a simple install and drive thing? What about the new GT3RS?
