I just got my new Exedy OEM clutch in today and it looks almost identical to the F1 clutch. In fact, I think whoever is selling these things is just painting them and calling them an "F1 Racing Clutch" and selling them for a lot more money. It's not a stage one either. Same thing as the one I bought that's OEM.
There's only 3 differences I noticed.
1. The fingers on the Exedy OEM clutch have indents in them and the F1 fingers are flat.
2. The grains on the Exedy OEM clutch are more raised and larger. The F1 are more fine and smaller. First picture is the OEM clutch.
3. One of the numbers on the clutch discs is the same and the other number is different on both discs.
Exedy OEM - Exedy - T/M SIDE 8F17A
Both Have This Number - FJD024U
F1 - T/M SIDE 7M25A
I tried taking pictures of the numbers but I couldn't get any without a stupid glare over the number. But they look exactly the same, no difference in appearance.
