Whats your power goals for a start?

Be careful with those clutches, sometimes theyre just the standard LUK clutch thats had the pressure plate cover painted so you pay for nothing extra.

ok thanks well hopefully looking @ about 250-265 bhp and roughly same torque maybe a wee bit more.so not sure what to get spoke to amd and they said a vr6 clutch with g60 flywheel would be fine but not to sure.

MrsB lupo had a Sachs power clutch in it... G60/VR6 spec and its started to slip from only 250lbft

SPEC is what I use to very good effect.

 

[andygolf]

can you supply these bill how much for that and which spec would you reccomend
cheers

SPEC is what you want - after seeing various clutches in various different states i wouldnt touch anything else tbh, but thats just my opinion

iv never had 1 problem since fitting my stage 3 spec
highly recommended for oem feel and your power goal

sachs would work with your setup also but from what iv seen, wont last too long ..

 

[PhilW]

I wouldnt say stage 3 was an OEM feel at all! lol.

 

[David_smith_909]

mine feels fine, just slightly different biting point on mine - not much tho
clutch feel is no heavier or lighter than it was

 

[ibizacupra]

mine3 stage 3+ is as light a pedal as std
a bit more fierce on take up but not bad at all considering what its dealing with

 

[PhilW]

A bit more fierce is a good analogy. I suppose i've only done about 500 miles on mine at the moment.

Your clutch will get alot better phil. Still wont be totally oem feel as it is a paddle clutch so is more aggresive. Spec are good but not cheap. Defo get a smf though as the dmf are crap!

 

[PhilW]

I'm sure it will get easier, it already has started easing up. Surprisingly SPEC dont get much love on Vortex.

 

[andygolf]

what sort of stuff are they saying phil?

 

[pj1985]

vortex=pinch of salt for me on some things.
