First 100 mile impressions of ACT clutch, AASCO Flywheel, and Pacesetter STS....
in quick summary. Clutch grabs like no other, chatters just a bit sometimes but hardly ever. Flywheel isn't really noticable except for trying to take off, but when you punch it you do notice the free power in the butt dyno. Probably good for .2 to .3 seconds off the ET. STS --- Short as hell throws stiff, and notcy. But i like it !!
i'll have more impressions when i actually break the clutch in and can get on it more. I've gotten on it abit, let a little blip out of the shift to second a couple times.
Oh yeah also "tried" to race an M3. Was worried about my clutch so i feathered the launch and did a slow no gas giving shift to second.
Hung with him for about 3 seconds then watched the eyes in my friends head go from normal to the size of watermelons as he pulled away from me like i was standing still.
He had a exhaust and a badge on the driver side that said Denali or Denani
something like that
was a nice car though.

Don't you mean Dinan?
(they make SCs and other really cool toys) for Bimmers...
be gentle with the clutch for about 5-600 miles.. it will take 2-3-4000 miles for it to really get friendly.. after that, you'll love it. I promise.

Alot of race engine builders will tell you the same thing.
Why get it used to one thing and then when its broken in , treat it another way. Doesnt make sense.
My ex wife used to tell me that too

Next time you buy brake rotors, install them, then take them out on the highway and get up to about 120 and stomp the brakes. do that several times, then drive home and see if they still meet runout specs after they cool off. I'll bet you my lunch money they're warped to hell.
it's the exact same thing with a clutch. you've got a friction disc spinning against metal to make the car go (instead of stop).

I`ve never did it that way and I havent seen any undo wear and tear because of it on my vehicles at all.
Just my opinion

you can ruin them just as quickly driving under 30mph if you drive hard in city traffic.. you can also be very easy on them at 100mph.
but believe me.. I've ruined enough brake rotors to know.. if you don't follow the break-in period on your rotors, they won't last long. they'll either warp or crack or both very quickly.

352 for ACT clutch through Nippon Power
and 445 for the Flywheel through Maxximum Tuning.
Yeah i was ****ed at myself after i did it. I didn't go ***** out though just a little aggresive. But how many chances are you gunna get to play with an M3 in Idaho?
