Can I get this straight? You want an Evo clutch and you don't want to spend £250?

A good conventional uprated Organic clutch will cost you at least £300-350, but in all honesty, we rarely fit conventional clutches to Evo's these days as they just don't last.

Exedy Hyper Single and Hyper Twin's are far more popular, but if £250 scares you, then I won't bother telling you how much these are.

Cheers

£199 on there, presume postage and vat on top.
Guess it won't be cheap, like everything else...

Bloody rear brake pads were £200 from Mitsubishi, look like old vaux ones you get for a tenner

2 top tips:

1-Euro car parts do EXEDY clutches at VERY reasonable rates. I shocked myself wi the prices

2- Get a new flywheel from Mitsubishi, try and get trade discounts. One of my customers just bought an evo flywheel for 190+vat (shit u not!)

That price range you are looking at is quite reasonable for an Evo clutch. My 2 (one Excedy/Daiken standard replacement and one Excedy HD) were both around 300pounds plus something similar to fit it, then machining the fly wheel and replacing the AYC fluid.

Ah well, I know now what they cost

Don't mention AYC - had 3k spent on that before brother bought the car, lucky I knew to look out for the AYC light on test drive

Sorry, but your moaning about spending a measley £250 on an evo clutch?!

And this is why there's so many shitboxes out there

If you cant afford to maintain a car properly then buy one that you can afford to instead of when it goes wrong just put the cheapest crapiest part in just so you can get rid of it quickly & lumber the next poor buyer with the problem.

I'm not moaning at all.
Why would I moan, not my car, as I said....
As I also said it is soon up for sale, so no point spending more on a clutch than needs to be spent.
Thanks for the er nothing though
