the exedy stage 2 is very aggressive at first but once it breaks in its just fine.

Ya, I know I went out on a limb with an F1 clutch as well
There was a clutch-burning smell for the first 2 weeks. I think it was a combination or break-in, and my over-gooping of lube on the input shaft my bros gave me **** for
I think the excess lube was flying off the input shaft, and out and around the clutch disk. After almost exactly 2 weeks, the burning smell just stopped.
Once in a while though, there is a burning smell, can't quite explain why. It happens under normal take-off. Otherwise its still feeling like my old Centreforce DualFriction in my previous CRX.
I've always wanted to try an Exedy clutch with my previous vehicles including this one now, and will go that route for sure when I start building my other engine. Good the hear that it's a nice clutch after break-in! How much power is the Stage 2 rated to hold?
