My very first manual car that I bought/drove (literally learned to drive it on the test drive) had a brand new stage 3 6 pluck TRD clutch in it from japan (confirmed this when i pulled the engine 3 months later)
I personally thought the all car's clutches were like this, drove a friend's car with a stock clutch, hated it. Had to lift my foot 5-6 inches before any real engagement vs my 1/2 inch engagement on my car.
An aggressive aftermarket clutch actually is easier in traffic mainly because you aren't moving your left foot to make the car move, all i had to do was move my toe up and down to move forward in traffic...
to each's own, I love aggressive clutches that have linear engagement, but i guess its because racecar is in my blood...
sorry for the rant but i HATE stock clutch engagement, feel, softness, ect

This will put me in a position to require a upgraded clutch... What are the better options for clutch on Boxer's, and other then being able to handle the more power what do these performance clutches feel like when compared to a stock..

personally if it were up to me, wait for a TRD clutch pay the premium and enjoy a very tough clutch, that has linear engagement, that will hold 300whp, if you need more bite buy the grey TRD version from japan, if you need more than that, get a clutch made for 800whp to hold your 400whp+ set up yeah it may be expensive but it wont blow up on you and it will last a LONG time plus blown clutches can ruin a bell housing and you may need to replace it in the end as well as a new pressure plate that cant be resurfaced

here is to hoping that ACT has a Pro-Lite Flywheel at SEMA. 9lbs would be about perfect on this car i think.

a 9 lb flywhell may be great on the track but if you arent used to it i wouldnt get it for DD use, i went form a stock 12lb flywheel to a 10lb then to a 7.8lb flywheel on my celica, i knew i would have hated myself if i went straight to the 7.8lb flywheel first instead of graduating
