New Clutch

Postby Steveyk » Mon Oct 17, 2011 6:26 pm

Had news on my car from Adam today, apparently the clutch is sh@gged. Question is, do I replace it with standard or go for the Exedy stage 1? I'm not planning massive power upgrades but it would be nice to have a bit of leeway with the clutch. :?

Scoobyworld reckon the stage 1 is good for a 40% power increase, which by my man maths is 125bhp give or take.


Advice please :roll:

Standard Exedy clutch going in. All the guys who recommended Adam were spot on, he's been fantastic.

Fingers crossed I don't need a new flywheel now! :shock:

I think the Exedy/Daikin warranty requires a flywheel skim. Had mine done by local eng. co. Then needs new dowels too.
