I'm assuming you mean the Honda-Tech F1 clutch mate?

If so I have heard they only last several months.

Yeah i think that is the one, i have a Exedy 6 paddel clutch now fitted and i hate it, you can not drive the car on public roads so i am now looking for a fast road clutch....

Won't be looking at the F1 clutches then

An interesting issue that has recently been proved is the mapping of your car.

I run a hydraulic triple plate OSG clutch for everyday driving and that too has proved difficult for road use.
Recently I have had the car mapped and all issues with the clutch have vanished. I am not saying the previous map was wrong, but just different.

Before splashing out on another clutch it may prove to go this route first.

Avoid F1 clutches imho.

For anything upto 400, these are the ones to go for: http://www.superhids.co.uk/exedy-clu...der-230mm.html

Lovely and smooth to use (as nice as OEM if not nicer). Free delivery this weekend too. Available as a package with the uprated forged lightweight flywheel also for just £499 delivered.

Give me a shout if you need 01462 488244 :thumb:

Not good

I had an ACT F1 6 puck on mine, also a F1 organic plate. Both were fine. The 6 puck was awesome in traffic as well. gripped well when driven hard (412/425)

ACT = Advanced Clutch Technologies (USA), nothing to do with the "F1 Racing" brand.

ACT are decent clutches.
