I have no issues with the Mantic clutch, my previous clutch was just organic and it held up to some occasionally aggressive "dumping" and never slipped once, I changed to a cerametallic clutch due to one of the springs in the clutch plate was slightly loose and rattling so I changed it out, this new clutch feels the same as my old one, which feels just like a normal factory clutch.

I'm even pretty impressed with the turbo being that it is huge, lag isnt too bad once your going but if I keep the revs high then punch it, it takes off nice.

Sounds like you've chosen well. What are you running? I've found Michelin Pilot Sport 3 to be quite good and got them fitted and balanced for $250ea in 245/40/18. On special though, normally $300 at the shop in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had thme all round brand new for Racewars back in April 2015. Still got the same set on the front after over 30,000km. Probably due for replacement though. Rears died a while ago hence now having the Michelin PS3. Previous sets of Invos I've found corner great in the dry even when the shoulder tread is worn off. Softer compound of course. I was getting them in 245/40/18 for about $250 fitted (online order plus pay to fit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
