My clutch has been confirmed as on it's way out and a mechanic friend of mine has agreed to change it for me but wanted to know if I'm getting the clutch or whether he will supply it (Sachs clutch?)

What I need now is recommendations for a replacement clutch kit for a 93wrx with a scooby ECU (power probably 250-270 ish)

My car is just a weekend toy, I don't do traffic light grand prix and I generally treat the car very well with no abuse so what would you guys recommend?

I'm getting married next year so I can't afford to throw loads of money at it so no AP clutches etc, just a good quality, affordable one that can handle the power I have. I don't intend increasing the power either.

Any recommendations???

Anyone?

Stick with a genuine Subaru clutch.........

I'll second that, for anything up to 340bhp 320lb-ft it's fine.

Anyone know the cheapest place to get one as my local dealer isn't keen on supplying parts for imports

I use an AP organic, no different in the feel to the standard one. So far it's taken numerous full bore launches at the various sprint meetings

only problem is cost I just can't afford to splash out £400 just on the clutch when I've got a wedding to save for. And I tend to be very easy on my clutch anyway so I wouldn't see the benefit of an AP one. Thanks anyway

£115 for a Borg & Beck on MY99 from Autospares (tel 01158750361).

Dont make the same mistake as me by not having a fresh flywheel ready (or facilities to hand to skim).

It's alright mate, don't the brides parents pay for these things ?

Charlie H

I wish They are paying for some but I've still got the suits, honeymoon, car hire, stag do, photographer etc etc etc..........

What have I let myself in for? I could have paid the deposit on a WR1 by now

I've got three qoutes for the standard subaru clutch kit ranging from £127 to 150 +vat so far but one well known subaru parts dealer says the standard kit is weak and I should use the STI 5 kit at £258 + vat??

I've had the car for almost 4 years and never had a problem with the clutch so I think I should be ok with the standard clutch kit but I just want to know what other, more experienced people think?

well i got a luk clutch from a local factor and i was made by the same company as the standard subaru clutch but at a fraction of the price

Used a Sachs Clutch in my old WRX, held over 300 for ages.. that included a few drag days so without them it would have lasted even longer.

U will need to get the flywheel skimmed as well!!!!!
I recently got a Blueprinted clutch,feels good and should last a while/I"m running about 260bhp ish........and don't plan on any more.

Charlie H

I have been told that by most people so I'll make sure he can skim the flywheel too
