Im running roughly 400bhp through my STI 7 Bugeye, would the standard clutch out of a Spec C handle this all day long and not be too agressive in traffic?

I think its just the same as a sti v7 - v8 clutch , But Ive been wrong before, The standard clutch from any newage sti should be ok just with normal use ,>>> I think ?? cheers Alan.

Cheers alan thought it was a standard item.

Doubt would take the torque for too long, may just go exedy organic then

We now have an upgraded Exedy organic centre disc that is good for 500 the one we have been selling on Gb's will easily take 400 but I think it is getting not to have a safety factor much above that.

Call if I can help with our uprated one.

Isn't the spec C a bigger diameter too if you use the flywheel (and the 6 speeder)
Not sure if Scoobboy has a 6 speeder?

I do have a 6 speed it is a 2002 STI v7

I think the flywheel is about 25mm larger in diameter so better 'capacity'

What would be better capacity mate im sorry i dont get you?

Would this handle 400bhp all day long and will it be a direct fit if i got my flywheel skimmed?

scooboy, has your clutch gone then ?

I'm running circa 400, done 85k miles and am on original clutch/flywheel

what car do you have?

My clutch is a helix 5 paddle and think it is too harsh in traffic, thats why i want rid, think the blooming thing was about £600 too

The clutch is a larger diameter than the 5 speed 'classic' clutch.
This means the area of the friction material to transmit the torque is greater on the 6 speed verses the 5 speed smaller clutch.

I term this to be the 6 speed diameter clutch has a greater capacity (capability) to transmit the torque without slipping.

If you drag race it every 5 minutes then the stock Sti 6 speed clutch may suffer in time. If you fit one of David's Exeedy units I think it would be better, an AP organic will be much the same to.

Paddles in a road car in traffic are terrible and wear very quickly, much more than an Organic faced clutch. (been there done it etc)
