Budget is around $200. I'd like something that can take up to 200hp or so. I'll probably never make more than that.

I'm also going to need a flywheel I think. My whole setup is burnt to a crisp. I think it might be a factory clutch...

The Ebay clutches aren't too bad - I ran an "XTD" brand clutch for a while and it held quite well...I ran a full-faced disk you might want to try the 6-puck. Their pressure plates are OEM Daiken PP's but they seem to hold just fine. (not seeing any for the Capri specific apps, but the 94+ Probe GT w/ the 2.5L v6 will work, I forget if the TOB will work but I think it does)

Stay away from the really cheap OEM clutchsets. I had one, and it wouldn't hold the stock power of a B6T without slipping.

If you can afford one...go with an ACT - they're pretty much the ultimate clutch. I'm running one on the AWD capri, it held up to much abuse when I had the 1.6 and FWD and its holding up awesome to the boosted 1.8 and AWD, along with a Fidanza billet flywheel - awesome combo if you can afford it. I've heard Centerforce clutches are very good as well.

Just my $0.02

oreillys has a better then stock clutch set.. i dont know what you have done to your car but it well not hold up well to 16 psi and a heavy foot  it slips in 2 bad on a hard pull  but its around that price if i remember i think if ya easy up on it it would work good  like rocket said i went the topofline  act 365 ftpounds sprung 6 puck no sliping but it was also like 500 bucks

I just had someone else point me to the XTD setup. Looks like it will work good for me. Around $160 shipped sounds good to me. I can use the money saved for a flywheel. Speaking of which, do you know where I can get a replacement flywheel? None of the usual stores seem to carry them...

[bryanknight]

are you sure you cant get yours turned i think you well have to talk to russ on that plate..

[bhazard]

It might be able to be resurfaced... but its really burnt up. I'll get a pic of the whole setup on here later.

You can get your stock wheel surfaced / decked and it should be fine. I might have a spare if you need one.

Looks abused, normal but abused. I think it'll machine fine - whats everyone else think?

[bryanknight]

yeah mine looked like that after smoking two breadnew clutchs lol as long as there is no stress cracks in the flywheel your good just get it turned  the funny thing is that the clutch disk does not look that used??? i wish i still had mine i would show ya sliping

[coco-customs]

looks good enough to turn to me. I work at a transmission shop and have turned a few myself, I think it will be fine.

[bhazard]

$35 to turn but I guess it has to happen :/

[Rocketman]

Thats cheap. Cost me $50 to get mine turned  

[bryanknight]

50 for me two

Bhazard, do you have a link and part # for the XTD clutch set?  I'm going to need one as well.

Thanks,
Dave
