I have a 97 318ti with about 156K miles and I am on the original clutch and I reciently installed a DASC, Ive been real nice to the stock clutch but I figure IF I want to really launch Ill eat my old clutch pretty fast,
SO
Ide like to get a clutch which would be good for the uprated power but dont feel like I want to go full racing clutch as I will still DD the car occasionally they lots of traffic,
Is there a nice uprated clutch kit I can get?
If so,
Should I get new flywheel?
Lightened ?
Please links and suggestions,
Ide like to buy parts soon and get them in sometime in the next couple months.
Thank you

I can't believe no-one has commented on an clutch yet..I ask about rims and the response is almost immediate. | | | | | 06-29-2013, 04:31 AM | #6 | | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2013 Location: Ft Gibson OK Posts: 15 |

I don't get it,
I read about engine swaps,
Folks here making cars from 3 other BMWs and other amazing things telling about what fits from which car and a simple clutch question and Zip,
Maybe I am just a doofis and this clutch question is such a simple thing ? ? ? ?

From my personal knowledge I wouldn't go lightweight flywheel unless you plan on tracking the car seriously. I'd get a standard stage 1 or 2 clutch for our cars and get it installed. | | | | | 06-30-2013, 01:55 AM | #9 | | Member Join Date: May 2013 Location: Edmonton Alberta Canada Posts: 86 |

I'm the other school, I love the throttle response of a light flywheel. I like the M42 Non dual mass flywheel with a upgraded pressure plate. My personnel favorite from having them in several trucks and race cars is a Center-force dual friction. http://www.centerforce.com/products/...-98-bmw-318-z3 You can beat the hell out of them and they keep on going.. In a revvy engine like the 318 it really works. You do have to get used to the pedal pressure changing when you rev the engine.. I don't even notice it any more.. some don't like it.. Ive had these smoking from abuse let them cool and they are right back at it.. Dave __________________

Cool thing is the centerforce is the same weight as the stock cover, which is lighter than the M3..
If you saw what I did to the one in my Jeep ,, you'd be a believer that's for sure... I used my jeep to move a log that fell across a road blocking my way out... Had the clutch nearly on fire.. and its still in there 75K later.. Whith numerous other abusive things done to it...
