yep still got mine after ~3 yrs... no issues... i just drive around it...

 

I still have mine. The issue is the pressure plate, not the CDV, and only on WOT 1-2 shifts when you try shifting too quickly. The CDV actually has nothing to do with the slip, just the centrifugal force at 8k rpm and the lack of force on the stock pp. Four years ago someone thought the CDV was the culprit and that idea continues to stick around, but the truth is different. Removing the CDV will give you a more metal on metal direct feel (at the expense of driveline shock), but won't remove clutch slip.

i saw a guy at dragonball run with 4.77s and no cdv. he was chirping 1st, 2nd and 3rd going uphill with brand new starspecs. pretty sure his only other mods were i/e...makes me want to do the same thing

 

Yes, still there and I don't think it's annoying.

 

The most important thing to me is my S being reliable. I would rather have something annoying then have the car brake. I think a breakdown would be alot more annoying the the CDV itself. I have never dun a burnout clutch dump or hard launches so I have never even felt the device do anything.

 

get an upgraded pressure plate and a lightweight flywheel and your 'problem' is solved.

 

 

The one hundredth of a second my shifts are delayed because of the CDV is not worth me doing anything about.

 

First thing i felt on my 04 was that the clutch didn't have the direct instant response like i expected it to. I was feeling the CDV so i removed it and have been much happier. It did however still slip due to the heavy ap2 flywheel, so i then installed an OEM ap1 flywheel with an ACT Pressure Plate and WOW the response is so perfect. I highly recommend it. S2000 changing mod.

IMO the CDV is an Idiot fix. Don't be an idiot and it wont be a problem.

 

I still have mine. Never really cared to modify it.
