After my poor luck with an actuator causing a delayed tune up it has got me thinking about the clutch as i dont want to wait another month+ and then have the clutch give out on me.

I have been told to many things by different people when it comes to what clutches can handle so i woundered if anyone had an opinions from experience etc..

I am hoping to be around 170-180bhp.
Would a std clutch be up for the job?? if not what do you guys recommend?

cheers

 

no1 got any ideas ?

 

heard theyre at theyre limit at that
id go for an ap paddle cluth so you then have scope for power in the future

 

I would go for the AP Organic, especially if you use the car in traffic much

 

been looking at the ap organics and there is 2 to choose from

cp 2000-15
cp 2000-8

? which one would be required as the budget is a bit tight.

 

I can't remember which one I had I have to be honest, I know it was the heavier of the two as Rob says I drive like a hooligan

 

CP2000-8 mate.

 

I am looking at getting a new clutch too, what other clutches are recommended ?? LUK ?? Black diamond ?? etc are these any good ?

 

I had a LUK clutch back in the day, cost around £115 from memory and never had a problem even at 215BHP.

 

LUK is nothing more than a standard clutch, Black Diamond are... well... meh, Helix are good but can be very heavy, EBC are. ....... rubbish

 

The LUK one wasnt a std clutch, it was a heavy duty version (only an uprated cover) but worked perfectly

 

ap paddle clutch for me.no matter how shit people find them to drive with i actually think its ok.

 

I wouldn't got for the paddle unless you REALLY need it. As for the organic actually AP offer a 3rd option - CP2000-35: http://www.apracing.com/info/product...2D35_1448_1408

I bought this clutch but still waiting for it to be delivered, so can't comment on it yet. But for the power I'm running and my needs that's what 3 different companies recommended to me. Got the modified MK5 alloy quadrant from Aidee at www.extremesportsproducts.com and the MK5 pedal from Burton

 

Amber performance did a LUK one, uprated i think it had (210) on the advertisement, but the mag was from 2007 !!! £135 which i thought wasnt to bad

 

I brought mine back in 2002 so that would be about right then
