is this a good deal?

Post by T4TURBO »

before i put my klde into my escort gt, im looking for number1 a new clutch, and 2 a couple little power adders to put on before it gets crammed into the engine bay. ive heard goodthings about getting a lightend flywheel and motor mount inserts. but i want o know if this clutch,flywheel, and motor mount inserts are any good? im looking at the 4th deal down from the top, stage 1 clutch,flywheel & inserts for $575. i know i like the price, but whats the quality?

Fidanza is top quality. I have one and could not be happier with it.

The clutch masters stage 3 is supposed to be really good. I would go with the stage 3 clutch and the fidanza for $650. You can pick up some urethane at home depot and fill all four mounts (instead of just the 2 inserts) for like $25. If you are using mx3 mounts i dont think those inserts will fit

how many HP are you going to have? Stage 3 sounds a little overboard unless you're going hardcore.

im going to be runnig basic mods. mostly just the fact that im upgrading from a stock BP05 to the klde should be enough. i/h/e light flywheel,ze cams maybe,ze intake manifold. stuff like that, so im thinking a stage2 +flywheel would be a good combo. i just want to know if its any good. the filling the motor mount idea sounds good. i did that on my escort and it works nicly. i didnt know you could do it on the mx3 mounts too.

dont go with the stage 2 i hear it has chatter problems. Go with the 3. Do some research for yourself on probetalk about that clutch.
