That's the point. It's going to take quite a bit of cash (and time/labor) to do what you would like to do.

I'm planing to replace clutch on '89 8v with

1. AUTOCOM Stage 2 Clutch Kit 381-75020 Geo Tracker Suzuki Sidekick 1.6 1.8 '89-'98 (Fits: Sidekick)

or

2. PPC STAGE 2 CLUTCH KIT GEO CHEVY TRACKER SUZUKI X-90 SIDEKICK 1.6L 1.8L I4

What can you say about it, any comments or recommendations? I don't plan to change flywheel.

Is any difference in manner of driving if I will have this type of clutch?

The more you know the more you can learn...Thanks Tommy. I can understand the desire to make the tracker into what you want. Not my kind of tracker but I am very into seeing what you make. Go dude!

Personally, I cannot find any review on the internet on either of these clutches, with the exception of possible information that the Autocom is made in China. If that is the case, I would go with the PPC, considering the way you plan to run the car. But this is just an 'inexpert' opinion. I think that most of us do not deal with Stage 2 applications in the clutch at all, as mostly these cars are used as daily drivers and in fairly tame off-road conditions. Best advice I can offer is to try to investigate this on the internet (or other forums where serious offroading is discussed). Perhaps somewhere like this:
Pirate4x4.Com - The largest off roading website in the world.
On this forum, I have heard Exedy clutches discussed - they seem to be recommended on offroading forums as well:
EXEDY Globalparts Corporation | High Performance and OEM Clutches and Flywheels

It is sometimes easier to have fun in vehicles that aren't performance oriented as it doesn't take much to get to the limit.

The fella has a mission.

Scudo, what do you think - I bet that the car in your photo is the same one as in my avatar!!

The photo happened 2 weeks ago. The amount of Escudos that wreck on a weekly basis would make some of the more sentimental folks on this forum depressed.

And those are only the ones I see.
