After a new clutch for my classic as my so called helix updated one is slipping after 1500 miles and 5 hard launches,what do people recommend

 

I've just put a competition clutch stage 2 in mine, got it from Darrel @ scoobyworx. My car is a 2.5 forged running 440/440 and it's fine,no juddering and the bite isn't harsh

 

I've bought same clutch as above cc stage 2 for around 450hp

 

This bloody helix one was meant to be rated to 400lbf,wrong!,lol
Are the ones you have paddle or normal??

 

normal, i removed an exedy 6 paddle from mine for 2 reasons....

1- it was ****

2- it was ****

here is is,if you enter sn10 @ the checkout you will get 10% off

also if you have a paddle at the minute chances are your flywheel will need skimming

 

No it's not a paddle one at the moment,it does have a lightweight flywheel,so the CC one should be fine for some hard launches

 

drop darrel a message as he is best person to speak with

 

For launches your not going to get the best unless twin excedy or the likes.
But some single plates can take a bit of abuse, but I wouldn't buy if I was planning to launch it

 

Yer don't want to replacing again for a while,

 

Paddle clutch's on the road are a bad idea, there really aimed at big power.

 

Brought a exedy hyper twin plate today though my supplier £1361.88p,with the trust bearing,good price I thought

 

I'm amazed no one has mentioned the ACT Offerings.

As good as the Exedy twin plate is (I've had one myself) The ACT stuff is superb and around half the price of the Exedy Twin Plate

 

+1

 

thats crap, kevlar and stinks
+2 ACT

 

Did look at them but decided on the exedy,

 

What clutch are you running?

 

i'm just looking into whats involved in taking my car to 450bhp .

according to andy forrest's web site a ppg or 6 speed box is needed for my version 6 sti. is your gearbox standard ?

 

No 5 speed will hold the power unless you put different gears in them, wich alone cost more than a 6 speed box..

And while you already need a 6 spd box, stock sti clutch will hold 430hp/550nm fine.

 

Exedy twin plate, tried and tested!

 

I been through lots of clutches. My favorite would be the Cusco twin plate & Carbonetics 4 pad unsprung, very harsh engagement & a lot of noise but boy does it launch! Very snappy. The ACT full face organic sprung disc is good for a daily, can hold upto 570 lbs but didn't find it to good for launching. I used this in a few of my dailys

 

your on a standard engine as per your other thread, as i said there to get they power levels you will need around 10k to do it right, forged engine twin plate clutch 6 speed box good brakes ect ect ect and many other bits and bobs, id aim for around 340bhp which will be quick enough in a classic unless your wanting to spend crazy money to do it correctly
