**CT SVT** · 04-14-2008, 08:22 PM

great news, thanks for the hard work you and FocusSport are putting in.

hold up 300wtq
street/autocross
cost: under $1k would be nice, will a new throw out bearing come w/ the combo??

**turbozetec** · 04-14-2008, 10:36 PM

If you need another tester I would be interested my car goes to the dyno this week to tune my turbo kit i just installed and i dotn know how well the stock one will hold.

**99dot** · 04-17-2008, 04:04 PM

since, you never opened up the PM I sent yah

a stage 2 350 FTTQ, and flywheel for under 1k would be really nice.

**FocusSportVP** · 04-17-2008, 04:17 PM

Some parts have come in and others have shipped to us. Hopefully we'll have some good news. If not, we'll keep trying our other ideas.

**99dot** · 04-19-2008, 08:43 PM

well what did you think?

If you check your pm's as much as your email you probally haven't even looked at them yet.

**kennan J** · 04-19-2008, 08:55 PM

I saw the pics. As you noted, its what I had guessed for the most part. Not a bad option, but not the way I would do it.

**99dot** · 04-20-2008, 12:44 AM

fair enough, lets just hope it last more than a year.

S2 · 04-22-2008, 12:13 AM

I'd be interested in just a stock replacement/upgrade that doesn't suck for my daily driver. No plans for big mods, but I do autocross.

**Reza** · 04-22-2008, 12:35 AM

^^ you havn't show up recently I am the only focus there again.

**belacyrf** · 04-23-2008, 05:24 PM

Randy, I know i dont have my car anymore, but here's what I would have asked for if it helps to give you an idea of what might sell.

300 ft/lbs of torque holding capacity
Fairly Streetable, slight increase in pedal stiffness is fine.
I'd expect it to sell for around 375 to 450 depending...

Specifically I would have wanted a Non - Kevlar Based disc, preferably Organic Material with increase plate pressure for holding capacity.

**FocusSportVP** · 04-23-2008, 05:53 PM

I have parts in. I just need to get the test car in here.

**Reza** · 04-23-2008, 06:12 PM

let me know I can come up there whenever you want

**johnnynumber5** · 04-24-2008, 01:50 PM

any word on pricing yet? i have my tranny out right now and im looking for a clutch kit with flywheel. n/a daily driver.

**kennan J** · 04-24-2008, 07:56 PM

I should of had my car shipped there lol damn

**fastsvt** · 05-02-2008, 07:46 AM

Would the bearing be updated over the stock quality?

**FocusSportVP** · 05-02-2008, 11:13 AM

**McSVT** · 05-04-2008, 09:14 PM

I can use one. I only need one for stock power levels, or just slightly higher. If the pedal feal is higher that doesn't bother me one bit. Would also like to see one for the guys with FI.

**Power Surge** · 05-06-2008, 08:13 PM

Stupid question... if this isn't out yet, then what is this....

That is what we call misrepresentation. I talk with Exedy several timers per week. We do all of the Focus testing for them these days. What you have linked is not an Exedy product.

**Reza** · 05-06-2008, 10:51 PM

thats the factory clutch.

That's why I asked

. Thanks for the info.

**mattellermets** · 05-12-2008, 11:39 AM

I'd need something that holds a properly set up JRSC'ed SVT...

so not too much but more than stock; i wouldn't expect much more than 250 hp / 200 tq

a LuK repset might work for this though... ?

**carlingskie** · 05-13-2008, 02:03 AM

any update on these? i'm about to pull out my tranny next month, currently looking for a clutch kit that can hold 250ish.. but yea i'll keep an eye on this thread.

**FocusSportVP** · 05-13-2008, 11:59 AM

We have parts in, just need to get some time to test them out and put some miles on the cars.
