The GC8 Gets a New Exedy Clutch & Flywheel

In the pursuit of a balanced daily driver\weekend track car, there was a need for a smooth clutch than can handle power.
-
The GC8 makes 360 WHP and there's still a little room to grow with the current setup so I started looking for a clutch that is organic, single plate and can handle up to around 500 WHP.
-
Looks like @exedyusa has the solution so I decided to install one of their single plate clutches paired with a new lightweight flywheel and see if they indeed do the job required.

Enjoy!

a million ways to skin every cat, but be careful driving fasteners in with an impact. it seems it came out fine, but imagine blowing out one of the female threads on the crank doing this job, what would you do? for disassembly its fine 99 percent of the time, for assembly its rarely the right tool sinking stuff. someone else mentioned tightening stuff down from each/all sides as evenly as possible, or a cross pattern to keep it simple. also when you split an engine on a street car like this its always a great idea to replace the rear main seal and the inspection plate, when they leak and you have to do all this again its annoying as heck. great job though and thank you for sharing, please dont take my words as a negative, i saw you commented you are not a professional mechanic, so i am just offering tips as one. and prop or driveshaft you are right who cares, as long as everyone understands each other its all good, as i find history interesting, i will let you know the manufacturers that started with boats continued into road vehicles using the term prop shaft or propeller shaft, road manufacturers that started there just referred to it as a driveshaft 😊 thank you again for sharing, cool old subie ✌️

rh front tire is on the wrong side directional should be facing the other way ! Flywheel should be X bolted with torque sittings = then run out checked with a dial indicator ! - you seem a bit ROUGH as a mechanic ! for high performance .

תתחדש אחי! אחלה אקסדי! לגבי קאץ' קן או AOS. אז יש יתרונות לAOS מחברת IAG. זה טופ של הטופ אבל יקר כן. אם אתה הולך על קאץ' קן, אז רק קאץ' קן שיש בו אלמנט מסנןן היטב ואוסף את השמן. (דוגמה כמו הקאץ' קן של של חברת RYCO)

Next steps to make it more of a daily car:
Get an interior.
Get some tires that don't sound like your driving a truck (or a second set of wheels)

Hey man, I have a question after you replaced your clutch did you make any adjustments at the clutch pedal ? for a better clutch release. I have kinda the same issue with my clutch I have an exedy stage 1 heavy duty street with an organic fly wheel but someone just told me about the clutch pedal!!
