    Anyone who's driven a faster/sportier car knows our lancer came with a very pedestrian clutch. Anyone upgraded yet?

    at all?

    since our cars are relatively new and not alot is available for serious power increases, i'm not gonna go swappin out the oem clutch till it needs it, or like i said, throw on a turbo or nitrous and be at the track every friday night. i'm willing to be most agree with me on that one. thats why no one has apparently done it yet.

    lol yup.

    came to that conclusion when i saw how many people viewed the thread but didn't answer. I don't blame people at all.

    But you know how forums are....SOMETIMES there are people who say "fuck it" and buy something. Or maybe someone who works with Fidanza is already rocking the clutch upgrade. But it looks like that's not the case at all.

    i'd personally rather see an ACT clutch than Fidanza but like you said, no huge aftermarket support = no R and D on such parts

    go us! heh

    Most of the bigger names are focusing thier R&D funds on the Evo and RA. Once those are done, The other models will follow.

    You have to match the power of lancer, lol, to the fidanza...as far as I know 143 pzev hp is really no need for an upgrade in "clutchness." Unless you granny shift and not double clutching like you should (help me here, luvmylancer, if I said it right) every other night when someone illegal street races!!!!

    between me doing street-tuning for Road Race, the drag night, and my aggresive driving, a more "grabbier" clutch isn't too much to ask for.

    Wanting a more sporty feeling clutch has nothing to do with my hp as far as im concerned. I'd honestly buy a clutch if knew from someone that it had a better feel, better grab etc....

    Alv you know what im talkin' about. Our clutch is soooooooo forgiving when it comes to engagement that it's easy to forget other cluthes grab better once you barely release the clutch. maybe i've driven too many of my buddy's cars to realize our is so soft.

    Power is not the concern here. It's feel.
