Message In hindsight I would probably have gone with the Sport Disk instead. The 6-Puck does grip pretty quickly when it engages, and combined with my RPS lightweight flywheel it is a tad finicky to pull away from a stop gently (say driving to work and not wanting to look like you are trying to race everyone from evey light, etc), especially compared to my NA with the Fidanza LWF I had on it with the ACT clutch, which was a very easy combo to drive. Once you are moving, there is no downside to the combo however, and the LWF is great if you like quick engine response to movement of the gas pedal for heel-toeing, rev matched downshifts, etc.

I got the 6-puck with the mistaken impression that I'd be dumping the clutch on a occasionally (based on my NA experience), and wanted the clutch to be able to handle it. However, a TT is a completely different animal, and dumping the cluth just results in tire smoke rather than a hard launch. Hence, I think the full faced disk type clutch would have been better.

I can't compare it to the Z1 clutch a I've never driven a Z1 clutch.

You might want to look at the Southbend clutches being sold by another member on here. SpeedRacer or a similar sn.

Good luck,

Mike
