Default SS clutchline

Just throwing this out there.. does anyone make an upgraded clutchline for the x3? perhaps SS?

has anyone ever had one made? i know the escort has one.. and man.. it makes a stock clutch feel like a st1.

would be nice if i could do one on the accent

There is a group buy going on on RDTIburon.com for SS brake lines and clutch lines.

Fit the Tiburon/Elantra, so I don't know about the x3. Might wanna ask the guy running it, he can probably get them made for you. High quality stuff.

noob question but what is the difference in performance with an upgraded clutch line.

What does a hose maker call himself/herself? A hoser?

they pretty much just cut your old ends off clean em up and install them on a new hose

LOL zzzing!

and the difference between a stock clutchline and an upgraded SS line is line pressure and flex.

stock rubber line flexes and expands and contracts due to heat/pressure.. whereas an SS line has no flex or contraction.. not to mention it'll last forever.

more clutch pressure going to the clutch equals stronger clutch pressure @ the transmission.

think of it this way.. it's like installing a "booster" for your clutch without having a booster.

Definitely check out the group buy over on RDT. The guy sells quality stuff and the prices aren't bad (lower than previous GB). Hell I even posted it on here:
