Hi guys, clutch died today.....bloody fix one thing another breaks!....bloody RS turbos lol!
Been slipping since i upped the power so was taking the piss abit driving it around like a knob like that,
Been looking at a fast road helix clutch over a 4 paddle, mainly as the fast road clutch is a fair bit cheaper and i beleive it can handle the power im running (186bhp and 200lbft) aswell as the car is used daily so i sit in traffic alot so a 4 paddle would be a pain.

Anyone have any experiences of the Helix fast road clutches?

Many thanks Adam.

 

You could fit a hydraulic setup which will help

 

Id rather not mate....

 

There brilliant beewn buying them for years and there organic road clutch i put in my evo was the only clutch under £1000 (helix) £490 that would do more than 2000 miles

 

Thats a great bit of feedback, nice one Jay!

 

Used one for years, Fucking brilliant 250lb/ft and 260bhp and it's never skipped a beat.

The pedal feel took a lot of getting used to though.

 

got one in my fiesta zetec turbo its 300 bhp and 340lbs torque and is very snatchy but holds out spot on even on santa pod strip thrashing it all day

 

Cossyking and Oranaco-was that a fast road clutch or paddle?

 

Organic, personally I don't like paddles in a car that spends time in traffic. My brothers AP paddle was tucked after 2 years of commuting.

 

i used a helix 6-paddle clutch on my 3dr at 397bhp/386lbft but i did have a reyland hydraulic clutch conversion.

tbh that thing was easier to drive than my std puma

id go for an organic over a paddle iff poss, but if you do get a paddle, get one with more paddles as it will be less snatchy

ie a 6 paddle will be nice and smooth takeup, a 3 paddle is like on or off

 

Thats great thanks for your help lads, will gwt an organic ordered

 

Ian Howell can supply these at a very good price

 

very good clutches

 

I went to helix directly on the phone and they said they dont deal with private sales any more, i was put on to someone else and i got the same stuff that way, i went organic in the end, keeps your drivability in traffic alot more tolerable and easier to use plus can easily hold the power you have.
