Anyone bought on of those exedy clutches off ebay for £104??
Seems to be the same shop selling the same type of clutch at different prices (£104 - £150) anyone had any experiance?

Cheers Marcus

 

Seems to have very good feedback

 

IMHO leave them there and get the better one in the pink box from David at Welcome to the API website
Fit and forget.

 

How much are they from APi? cant find any mention on there website

 

I posted the ebay link for the exedy clutches to exedy uk web site and asked if they were genuine exedy clutches as that what the seller claimed they are and the response were to avoid them as they aint heat treated and won't last as long as a genuine one...

 

There you go.

With clutches you do get what you pay for.
API web site is awful, call David on Welcome to the API website for a clear answer.
Good clutches are not cheap, but peace of mind is worth every penny.

If he offeres you a clutch/lightened flywheel package seriously consider it.

I should add i am a very happy customer of API.

 

Tell it like it is Graham, feel free to express your opinions

We have a new schmicko site coming up soon that will better reflect what we do and why and so-on.

l'll point you all to it once up and running.

Marcus: do you need an uprated one or will a standard one do? Only fit an uprated one if you need it IMHO.

 

No offence meant David, but the power of the web site in this game cannot be under-estimated. There are some really good ones now with lots of detail and pics etc, and others that are poor imho, Whiteline AU being one!

At least you have one compared to Laterals which is under construction for a l o n g time.

No offence taken, I know it's out of date.

 

think there just prob the basic excede ones, pretty sure its what i've got in mine and its last 8 months so far at 340bhp and not missed a beat (touch wood, pats head)

 

Was only gonna fit a standard one to be honest. My car is only running around the 300ish bhp mark.
What are the standard clutches rated to?

Cheers Marcus

 

It is the torque you need to look out for, not the power.

Stock UK turbo delivers about 180 lbft
Sti about 260 lbft

The 'good' Exedy clutches will handle a good 350.

A decent clutch from a decent source will help sell the car later on.

 

I have an Exedy Uprated clutch and lightened flywheel all from API and I can't fault it

I'm running somewhere close to 400bhp and similar torque and it handles that no problem

 

Now that IS a understatement
