hi.
i've been looking for a clutch and it seems that the only option is a cm fx400.
i'm wondering who here has one and how do you like it. i'm dreading the chatter and sensitivity of a 6puck
as i do drive it to work and cruise it sometimes.
it's an m30 so i don't have that twin disc option or anything fancy like that.
here are pictures of my burned out fx300.

You sure you cant swap over to an e36 clutch?

How to turbo your car:
Step one. Install ecu and learn to tune and or have it tuned.
Step two. Install injectors and retune.
Step three. Install turbo parts and bits. get it running with out leaks. DO NOT DRIVE IT. Idling should be ok
Step four. Retune car
Step five enjoy
Get the 6 puck ceramic. It chatters for the first 1500 miles though.
I have the fx400 and it chatters and is noisey but you can adapt your driving style to all but get rid of those issues.
that fx300 just held 500tq by a hair on the dyno, it didn't completely let go but it smelled bad.
on the street it would blow it away so it was de-tuned to 470tq and even then it will smoke it at high loads, freeway, 7 out of 10 times.
probably don't recommend it over 450tq to keep it safe. Drives fantastic though.
i wish that would be on my car right now. i think the m20 u can do it with a 328 starter. lucky.

I have the FX800 and have had no problems, except it is somewhat "grippy".

i'm still prepared for it being like an off/on switch.
just ordered it. i'll add to the comments.
btw the fx300 doesn't like to be heated up so if u slips and overheats it's pretty much over.
i got new grippy summer tires and by 3rd gear it just lets go. vs being a burn out monster with the run flats.
just thought it'd update this for future people.
it drives like normal as in it's not some crazy grabber.
pedal is light, there is nothing strange happening like chatter but the clutch grabs higher on the pedal then the fx300.
over all it feels about the same to me, just grabs higher for some reason and yes you can slip it like normal. not even close to an off/on switch.

^me and you are the only e30 guys we have to stick together
i got it from TCD he hooked it up with my last clutch too.
100 miles in boi. Can't wait to let this thing eat at 500mi.
i'm already doing 1st gear pulls i can't wait. ha
btw found a flywheel balancing place very local and turns out, according to them. they make all of clutch masters clutches.
they said they can make me a custom one, sell me a "clutch masters" for way cheaper, or a twin disc. wtf...
