A mate of mine just acquired a classic. Needs a new clutch asap. I've requested info on the car from API but haven't received anything back yet. (API have serviced the car for a period and rebuilt the engine 10 yrs ago.) I was hoping to find out what state of tune the car is in. Matey has spoken to API and, knowing the car, they have suggested a stage 2 clutch. The only technical info we have is the wording of the sales advert which lists ported heads, sports cat and a remap to 235bhp.

My reason for posting is that from driving the car it doesn't appear to have been modded to a high degree. My previous classic ran a standard clutch (Borg & Beck I think) whilst running a Link ECU, decat and induction on a MY00. This lasted over 60k miles. I was under the impression that the type of clutch was dependent on the power.

Any ideas and recommendations?

Thanks.

Been looking at clutches aswel mate sorry to hijack thread. Would the competition clutch stage 2 be ok for 500ftlb?

6 speed Stage 2 rated to 425-450ft/lbs torque at the wheels

What about a 6 paddle? And does the 6 paddle have a oem feel?

No, by the very nature of a paddle clutch the bite point is smaller which has its advantages and disadvantages.

As far as paddle clutches go though these Competition Clutch Stage 4 Paddle have decent road manners being 6 puck and sprung.

Remember the ratings provided are at the wheels whereas your torque figure is presumably at the flywheel.

Yup. I think a stage 2 will be best for my needs. Can i use my std flywheel with the stage 2?
