Johnny Knoxville · 07-01-2010, 07:35 AM

Going to help replace the clutch in a friends escort cosworth and he wants a uprated one in there but what one should he go for?

Its not quite 400bhp yet but he does want to up it to that from 348bhp it is now

Sorted, thats not that bad witch he will be happy about

While he is there, I would HIGHLY recommend fitting a hydraulic clutch kit. It will near enough double the clutch life, and make it much nicer to drive with an uprated clutch at that sort of power level.

Ive a brand new 6 paddle AP here if interested. Mate bought it a couple of years ago and never got around to using it.
