Clutch wear pics and UR flywheel machinability
I did a search on this and did not come up with anything... is the UR lightened flywheel machinable? I am replacing my ACT stage 1 (after 2 years only). Here are the pics of the flywheel and disc... would you guys recommend a replacement at this point too?
As for the early death of the clutch, I am not sure why... I drive stick well - double clutching, never ride the clutch... but I have drag raced with this setup quite a lot. I have slipped the clutch or done a high rev. dump on slicks. Would that accelerate the deterioration of the clutch by that much??
In any case, I would appreciate some opinions on the pics and if someone could tell me whether the UR flywheel is machinable, that would be great!

I bought from Custom Maxima. I will send them an email and see what they say. Any suggestions on what clutch I should replace with? ACT Stage 1 again or could I do better, especially for the price? I loved the ACT stage 1 feel.

Clutches definitely wear out fast when you slip them during hard launches. It is still wise to do so though as it is much better to replace a clutch than to rebuild a transmission.
The flywheel friction surface looks really really burnt!
