Hey guys!

I was just wondering about 949 single or twindisk clutch vs 1.6 vs 1.8 (what I have stock '00)
I only daily drive the car, how would you describe it in city driving?
Does a smaller clutch require more slipping?

Also, how was the install, I have read that it's trial/error for the twin disc?
if it's difficult, my plans are to get a fidanza 1.6 (~7lbs) and spec pressure plate (6 or 9lbs depending if it's aluminum, a diff of 3lbs and ~300$). I don't think it's worth it though, but once your light, why not go all the way?

Thanks,
John

Since you also made a thread I'll just post this here:

I would highly suggest also doing the rear main seal...that ended up prematurely killing the discs because someone claimed to do it then months later adimted to not doing it....FUCK YOU RT!

Okay, read your thread and on the one yr update you mention a 1.6 slipping after a year.
This is partially the way I was going to go..so I have to ask how aggressive do you drive? And do you think it would suit me? I drive like a grandma 70% of the time. (shift at 3K, short city route with lots of stop lights (lots of clutch slipping/shifting).

clutch wear often occurs when slipping your clutch to move slowly or holding yourself on a hill.

Driving hard (granted you shift smoothly) wont accelerate clutch wear as much.
