if you launch the car at all get a twin plate thats what mines got and its not too harsh/jerky, if not a standard exedy clutch would do. My clutch has started to behave strangely aswell, worried lol

Standard clutch would handle that fine as said above. Or get a 7-9 flywheel and kit.

jamie's

he's to gay to launch it
decent exedy 1 should be ok,
thats what i put in her jap crap and its been fine even with a few proper launches
be needin a gearbox before another clutch,
you know anybody that runs a clutch centre that could fit it?

Mines got a HKS twin plate in it, It's quite light but far more fierce than any paddle clutch i've ever had. Not cheap though at Ł1400 fitted with gear oil!

Standard Evo clutches are VERY borderline in terms of power handling. As soon as you start driving them with any 'spirit', it'll be knackered in no time. Additionally, the flywheels are VERY thin, so the chances of changing the clutch and not needing a new flywheel are very slim (they are too thin to safely skim really). So, it's a risky business fitting an Evo with a standard clutch IMO, you could spend 3/4 of the money you'd spend on a twin-plate and it might only last a few months.

I know somewhere that does the Exedy Hyper Twin (the best on the market) for Ł980 delivered or Ł1200 fitted, but I'm not allowed to say who it is. LOL. They can easily be found by having a quick look on the Lancer Register.

its got a carbon(i think) clutch in it just now, but he dont like it from cold,
feels like it slips until it heats up, it dont realy get driven hard so dont think it needs a twin plate set up realy

A very good price for clutch and fitting!

Exedy Hyper Twins are excellent as well. I used one in a 500+ track car not so long ago and it's lapped up the abuse

I'd either fit the larger flywheel and clutch setup from the later Evo's (VII onwards) or fit an Exedy Hyper twin plate, they're pricey but they do last a lot longer than an uprated organic clutch such as the single plate Exedy.

I had 2 single plate Exedy organic clutches fitted to my 365bhp 345lbft Evo V and the first lasted 1500 miles, the second one I drove a lot more carefully (no slipping clutch or launching) and that lasted 8500 miles, I then upgraded to an Exedy Hyper twin plate and broke the car 1000 miles later.

Is it RSE Motorsport in Wales by any chance? They were the best priced clutch supplier when I bought mine.

It's common knowlage that there very thin, ive seen several removed with cracks.
And you must completly baby yours to think 365 on a early evo clutch is acceptable.
Mine did 5k of non track driving at standard 270 bhp before giving up

Mate I remember Craig doing the clutch on yours just before he sold it to you but it had never been abused but i bet it dosent last long, I had a brand new Exeedy paddle clutch put in mine then had it remapped by Jamie and it lasted about 3k with never being launched before it startied to slip so binned it and got a 2nd hand Cusco twin plate put in off Jamie and no more probs after that And every clutch change you need a new flywheel

stuarth

i think the carbons fucked it just slips all time , worried about flywheel it slips all the time so something must be giving way!!yes i am a poof dont launch it, kids in it mostly or shes driving it, it only gets the odd kicking when i was coming home fa work,etc. fittings not a problem(jamie)lol, what kinda price wee talking then????wheres best to get fa ebay??

As mentioned above, later (larger) standard clutch from 7 8 9 or Exedy Organic are fine up to 400 ish bhp without launching. I know of one lad on 467bhp on a stock Evo 9 clutch.

Get a twin plate if hard use is the plan, or if more power is on the cards. Cheapest place for Exedy twins (my preferred choice) is APT, they advertise on the MLR. One of the owner's had a very fast 1.6 CVH RST and posts on here quite a lot

Finally, if you have a carbon clutch then they often "slip". Normally when cold, the plates simply need warming before they then will bite hard. Can be disconcerting when you first stamp on the gas, but by all accounts quite normal.

whats the opinion of the OS Giken twin plate? I think mine needs replacing and was gonna go with one of those repair kits which seems a cheap option.

stuarth

its no use for me if your sitting at 70 on motorway and put the foot down it just slips, and it seems to be getting worse cant even overtake, you need to bring it on boost slowly, doing ma head in

jamie's

scrap it and buy a real car
