The doors. I'm getting my Miata doors next week.

Sport brakes aren't bad imo. At least I haven't had any problems with 'em.

kevin.z · 08-07-2010, 10:02 PM

well, the ice mode for brakes kinda sucks. So back to clutch, so when we change clutch, we will need an aftermarket full metal CSC? what else will cause problems?
man, someone needs to design an aftermarket csc lol

i've pretty much gotten the new design i'm going with hammered out now i need a bit of tooling and time as well as finding a good shop in the area that can soldier the steel sleeve from the stock piece into my new base so there will be no o ring to worry about. I'm also going to change out to regular IF fittings so i need to get an adapter line made, and a top bleed line for easy clutch bleeding. It'll take a bit and i probably won't be able to make many of them as this is a sidejob for me. I wish i could work for a company like stillen.

As for a picture of all the parts they are in my toolbox at work so i can't get to them until monday and right now i'm trying to find the 20mm nut for my oil cooler kit around my house somwhere as a family member moved it the last time she was over without caring that it is a very hard to find piece.

It's been 1200 miles and not one problem with Southbend's clutch/flywheel/pressure plate combo. I'm using a stock CSC with a bearing cover that works perfectly with the Southbend's offering.
370Z VHR South Bend DXD Clutch Kits for stock CSC

I'm using a Stage 4 clutch with the billet flywheel and it's performance has been flawless. I believe RCZ is also using this clutch/pressure plate combo with a lightened flywheel and has great success with a SC.

Unfortunately, Joe is not a vendor on here and not many people realize that 370Z owners have this option. He has also developed a all metal CSC that is in testing mode and should be available sometime next year.

Tell him where you heard it from and you may get a discount

1200 miles? Brother, I had like 10,000 miles on my JWT combo + 2 track days. It's not a question of that particular setup not working. In fact, as per my first post, it worked flawlessly. It's not so much a matter of if but when the CSC decides to give.

That said, I'm sure your flywheel/clutch combo is a good one but that was never really the issue to begin with as it turns out.
