This is a great kit for DD and I have one on my car also.
I made 457 HP with a 2mm head gasket.
The manifold is bulletproof, period!
Inline has awesome support and fully supports their product.

As far as clutches, STAY AWAY from pucked style clutches like the competition clutch stage 4. It is horrible to drive and ruins the car completely. I have this clutch and have had it in for a little over 10K miles. It will be replaced next time I have the motor out.

 

which clutch are you referring to having?

 

what do you think is wrong with the CC stage 4? I'm not having any problems with it...

 

Takes away driveablity from the car. You have to treat that clutch gentle when going from a stop uphill for example.

+ It is rather noisy.

It holds power thats all I can say about it. I have had 2 of them on two different s2000's.

 

Hm. Fair enough. I've been surprised at how driveable it is, even after having had a twin disk in the car.

I guess I've probably dealt with so many clutches that were worse this guy just seems fine.

It certainly feels better than my Jeep clutch!

 

Yep there are worse clutches out there, but the CC stage 4 is a clear downgrade from stock in terms of driveablity, when the rest of your FI setup might be improving driveability.

I do accept mine aswell, I have learnt to deal with it and somewhat like that the car is "more rough" sometimes.


About the IP kit:
Its a good DD kit, I wouldnt go over 350whp with stock compression, pumpgas and the cast manifold tho.
The cast manifold is not likely to break, its very durable.
I did use it until I had the time to build my own tubular.

 

The CC stage 4 isnt that bad, plus it comes with a TOB & its the cheapest.. I would have preferred an ACT myself but crankwalk sucks

 

Its completely horrible to daily drive period. I have had this clutch for 12K miles daily driven. Where should I start??

The engagement is on/off, there is little compromise. If you try and slip it much you WILL burn the sucker and wear it out in 10K miles. Its very hard on the drivetrain and motor mounts. The clutch buzz is near unbearable, although my left leg/foot does get a massage from the buzz coming through the pedal. I have a stock exhaust and all I ever hear is bzzzzzz unless I'm on the throttle accelerating. You will look like an a$$ or just learning to drive a clutch at least once a day if not more. (more so going up any incline) It's completely HORRIBLE going up hills or inclines! It does not like to be slipped in these situations and as it heats from slipping the pedal drops as engagement occurs.. Think about it, your trying to let the clutch out but the engagement point is dropping...

I wish I could give people the opportunity to drive my car with it before they buy one. I'm sure it would change your mind.

I will be switching to the ACT street or SOS twin disc in the future. The ACT street will only hold around 325 ft/lbs to the wheels before it starts to slip so I will have to factor that in.

 

I had one in mine and threw it away, currently I have and ACT and intend on keeping it. I was able to make a lot more torque than my IP Street kit on my new set up and it was still holding until I hit about 380FTLB of torque.

I am actually interested in tring the Centerforce or SOS if my ACT ever goes out.

 

Geez. You guys must have all been spoiled with the clutches you've used.

I guess learning to drive stick on an Accord with 190,000 miles and the original clutch probably doesn't provide the best baseline, but I've driven tons of cars and don't think the CC4 is that bad for a clutch holding that sort of power.

It's more driveable than the carbon twin that was in my car. You wanna talk about a clutch you can't slip.
