CDV and ACT HDSS
#11
^^^see, thats true. like on other threads where they say they can chirp their tires and what not. i really dont feel that much of a delay. but i was just thinking if i should keep it or not? i already order the clutch and the 8 pound flywheel, so i cant take that back. and i much rather install a clutch than a diff. the difference would be i can still drive on a bad clutch. so i guess i should keep it in.
BTW, just curious, how many ap2 took out the CDV and broke the diff? b/c i dont hear alot of ap2 breaking it.

Fwiw, OEM clutch disc and 8 lb flywheel - if you're replacing those parts, I'd add an ACT pp to the list when you have it apart.
Fwiw, the AP2 diff got slightly reinforced over AP1, although the difference is minimal.

I question everyone who claims the CDV needs to be removed as its never been established to hurt any part of the car's performance.

ok, i am getting the act HDSS and 8 pound flywheel. i do shift pretty quick, i think. also i notice the CDV when i first got it for about 15K miles, but now i am at 40K miles. i have VSA and when i shift hard to second my vsa kicks in and starts to pause the fuel and i know the its the vsa because i tried to do the same in rain and it does the same thing. and if i try really hard shift to third i can chirp the tires. oh, and this is on hankook r-s2.

8lb flywheel is really light. It'll take a lot of getting used to. Most AP2 owners really like the AP1 flywheel, which is several lb lighter. I have a 9.2lb on an AP1, and it's almost too light for me.

Remove the CDV, I just removed mine yesterday and wish I had done it when I first purchased the vehicle. The clutch engagement now grabs and "feels right". The snap ring is a real PITA! After about 10mins, I drilled the tiniest hole behind the ring and was able to push it out. Do it you won't regret it!
