Exedy Has developed the best carbon structure with high burst strength and torque transferring capabilities as a performance clutch. With the carbon, we tuned for Friction Coefficient to get smooth operating @ Cold Condition like street, and High Torque transfer @ hot condition such as Race Circuit. Our Hyper Carbon Clutch has superb easy operation, best inertia and extremely high torque capacity in this class of product.

Long Life Design:

Exedy Semi Carbon possesses a life span greater than 2.3 times the average of a Metal facing and 1.3 times longer life when compared to other carbon clutch manufacturers.

Advantages:

-Lightweight: Improved shift response.

-Strong heat resistance: No disengagement problems caused by disc deformation.

-Long Life: Low friction material wear rate.

-Easy Operation: Easy to use in the Half Engaged zone offering a comfortable operation either at the circuit or at the street.

Also

Ultra Sc, SSc, & Rc Charger Series Pulleys
(For use in supercharged vehicles or where underdriving of the alternator is not wanted)

Lightweight 6061-T6 billet aluminum

CNC machined to .001"

Real HP & torque gains across entire RPM range

Used in applications where superchargers and/or high-power stereo systems are installed

Better than OEM belt fitment & alignment

Boost increases in certain applications

High quality polished finish

Unorthodox Racing Ultra Street Charger series of lightened aluminum pulleys turns the world of underdriving upside down. Ultra Sc crank pulleys are available in a stock diameter or overdrive/underdrive configuration, depending on the application. They are also available in Ultra SSc pulley sets which include the accessories found in Unorthodox Racing standard SS kits. Ultra Rc crank pulleys are a single belt design, only driving the alternator and supercharger (when equipped). No other accessories are driven by this pulley. This makes for an extremely light piece that will provide you with even higher power gains than Unorthodox Racing Ultra Sc crank pulleys.

Ultra Charger pulleys are CNC-machined from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum billet. Numerous machining steps are used to ensure they are the lightest possible design, even with their larger diameter. It is the reduced rotational mass that still provides excellent ower gains without underdriving.

For the Acura/Honda applications Unorthodox Racing Ultra Sc and SSc pulleys are both an underdrive AND overdrive! Aftermarket supercharger kits (such as the Jackson Racing systems) are driven off the alternator section of the Acura/Honda crank pulley. Unorthodox Racing charger series pulleys act as an overdrive pulley in these applications, providing an increase in boost. Typical boost increases are 2 to 3 psi over a stock supercharger kit for the Acura Integra and Honda Civic Si. It is highly recommended that a high flow fuel pump and a boost dependant ignition system with retard control is installed in these applications.

For the Nissan and VW applications, Unorthodox Racing Ultra Sc and SSc pulleys are stock diameter units. This is done so there is no increase in boost levels, yet power gains are still seen because of the reduced rotational mass. Subaru applications benefit from a slight overdrive, designed to work with many of the aftermarket supercharger kits available for these vehicles. Boost increases of up to 1 psi can be seen in these applications.

Ultra Charger series pulleys are available in a natural polished aluminum finish. [http://HondaCivicParts.blogspot.com]Honda Civic Parts

The New 2006 Honda Civic
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Duane_Boodasingh]Duane Boodasingh
The new, redesigned and reengineered 8th generation Honda Civic was finally revealed to the public of Trinidad & Tobago. We at trinituner.com feel this his fully loaded sedan will set a new benchmark in quality and performance for our market.
We test drove the 2006 Civic and can definitely report that the build quality both interior and exterior is exceptional. There are details on the interior that prove that Honda has 'upped the ante' with regards to ammenities, esthetics and features that are not usually expected in a small sedan. We will refer to it as 'upscale ambience' as it really impressed us. The forward thinking two-tiered instrument cluster is a real eye catcher with its "indiglo" blue ambient light.
The handling was commendable and especially soft. The 1.8 iVTEC engine with CVT pulled relatively strong through the powerband, though the CVT never let us feel any gear ratio changes. We were not able to test drive a unit with manual transmission but we are sure that it would carry the rewarding feel of previous Honda gearboxes when mated to this 1800cc engine. We assume the suspension will be stiffer on the new Si Coupe model which should arrive in a few months with an estimated price of TT$250K.
From a tuning perspective (considering the Civic is the most tuned and modified automobile in the world) the 2006 Civic has some issues that had us thinking: The catalytic converter is directly on the exhaust manifold along with the O2 sensor. In fact it would seem there isnt much of an exhaust manifold at all! This should make setting up for AFR tuning simpler and we should see some interesting header designs in the future.
Also the engine bay is very short and so the front shock mounts are under the windshield but still accessible through removable plastic panels finishing the cowl. We wondered what interesting strut tower braces and pillow ball strut mounts the aftermarket industry would have to devise to facilitate this radical cab forward design.
Four wheel disc brakes is standard on all models and much to the delight of many tuners the wheels are also 5 hole from the factory. The trunk is huge and the sound system is good with options for MP3 and steering wheel controls. Seems like someone at Honda has been listening to its customers.
We can deifinitely see the new 2006 Civic will take the industry by storm and will have everyone from salesperson to casual driver to track-day tuner thinking outside of the proverbial box.
We definitely liked what we saw! [http://forums.trinituner.com/forums/archive/honda-specific-18/]More Honda Technical Articles
