Rob can you confirm this?
It is holdng up really well to the abuse I throw at it, which is everytime the car is dríven.
Does have a really heavy pedal weight though.

Jake, not sure if its the ACT Extreme or the Heavy Duty....it certainly never slipped in my experience 8)

i have the exedy sports tuff clutch in my car. slightly modified na6...soon to be turbo. IMO it feels almost exactly like the standard clutch, just the pedal feel is a tiny bit heavy (only very fractional). i was told it would be good for up to 12psi...not that my turbo setup will be seeing that kind of boost anyway.

im runing an 1800 flywheel and a 700kg clamp pressure cover and standard mazda 1800 disc on my 140RWKW 1600 turbo,, I got the cover from \"xtreme \" cltuches..i think adelaide clutch sell them......holds great and very light and easy to drive........

HOWEVER.....it doesnt like getting hot and a few good clutch dumps will have it slipping very slightly in third and forth full throttle....i think ill get a kevlar 6 button or something similar that can handle the heat/abuse, (not too extreme such as a 4 puck) if it gets too bad. when its cold its fine.

I got one of these puppies but with brass buttons and it has handled the abuse fine
I have a 1 ton presure plate from NPC up here with a lightened flywheel and when ever i get in it I give it a fair whack with the throtle stick and it has survived
pedal feel is alot heavier than normal and trying to crawl in traffic is a real bitch! its either on or off not really much in between!

but otherwise fine :mrgreen:
