Where have people bought the ACT / OEM clutch parts?

Define198

I have ordered:
oem release bearing and oem disc from si@hendy.
Oem Pilot bearing from h-tune
ACT Pressure plate from funky power - Currently on back order with shipping date around 24th - so get an order in quick if you want to get one on this shipment. It is not listed on their website seperate to the ACT clutch kit so send them a email, H021 pressure plate - £325

Matt Scarbro

Thanks, do you mind sharing the total cost?

Define198

£325 for the Pressure plate
£175 for the oem disc and plate, not sure individual cost bought them together from hendy
£19.99 for the pilot bearing

So all in £519.99 delivered.

was tempted to get a lightweight flywheel but cant justify the cost, my clutch has never slipped so hopefully original will be still ok when i have the new stuff fitted.

Thanks, seems fairly sensible for the power.

My standard clutch is only about 15k old so I will likely buy the ACT/Honda combo and have it ready should the standard clutch start slipping.
Perhaps I'm being naive but given the fairly low torque and linearity of the delivery I'm expecting the standard clutch to be fine.

from what i have read its 50/50 if the clutch will be ok or not, i have read some US guys say their car had only 20k miles on the clock and had clutch slip instantly, and some other guys say they had 70k+ and they have been ok, personally i didn't see the point in risking it, would be a shame to take the car to be mapped and the clutch slip and then have to pay again for more tuning!

Anyone reading this using the standard clutch?

I've contacted Funky Power, they are going to back to me about a firm date for delivery as they couldn't give one earlier.
Mentioned 24th so same shipment I would think.

Main reason for wanting to keep the standard one for tuning is the break in period required with a new clutch.
Would be extremely difficicult for me to get sufficient miles on the car before dyno.

Ive done over 2k mile with 1000cc DW injectors.

never lumpy no issues what so ever...

Do you know what your AFR is at idle? Its easy to get it to idle smooth but quite often it can be running very rich

Mines 14.6/14.7 at idle on dw800s. Idles bang on. Your earlier post on boost levels mine was hitting 13.3psi at 8750 rpm when been mapped.
