I have the same flywheel but I have the FX400 6 puck clutch with a lightweight flywheel. I had no issues with idle or stalling, in fact the car seemed happier with the lighter clutch. After installing my turbo I had Visconti bump my idle up to 1000rpm to smooth it out even further. I am however interested in the noise of the FX300/350 as my 6 puck is noisy as hell, with the A/C on it sounds like my car is broken while idling in neutral.

Got the car back today!!! (sniff, sniff)




First clutch impressions:

The clutch is obviously harder than stock, but not obnoxious at all.

The engagement is fast, but I can tell right away its not as harsh as the 6 puck varieties. You can slip it a bit.Its not the type of as soon as there's some little contact BOOM, is completely engaged. I know this might change after break in so I will updated when I complete it.

Also, all my little issues are 99% gone!

The OP/DP is not hitting the frame anymore, the fuel keg is not leaking anymore, and the exhaust leak has been reduced to very very little. I will live with this for now and fix it later on. Its REALLY hard to tell.

Now the car feels like I expected it to. It felt awesome doing some mild pulls. Can't wait to break in the clutch and be able to finally go full hard on it like it was meant to be Thanks to all for paying attention and sharing your opinion here. It's very welcomed and greatly appreciated!!!

I also have my idle up at the 900-1k range. No stall or even look like it at all. Idle is perfect.

I think there is a might difference with the FX300 (or 350 whatever the hell they sold me LOL) becuase I didnt notice the sound much. It definintely is there, but very mild. (This might be becuase of break in period and I guess might get worse).


Also, the engagement seems to be quite different than the 6 puck FX400. I don't notice that instant full engagement (This again might be because of break in period, we'll see I'll keep all updated).
