Angry Clutch Foofed - AGAIN -

Driving home from work in fifth gear doing about 55 ish, put my foot down and there she goes slipping like mad, has been getting worse today also.

So, i will not make the same mistake as i did when the first one went and replace it with standard WRX one (about 9 months ago)

I have new TD05 waiting to go on as well as a few other mods, aiming to get around 330-350 BHP, what clutch should i be looking at replacing it with and what kind of price to expect?


Cheers guys

exedy organic should do the trick for the projected power level

Its really odd about yor other one tho, i never had any probs with my standard one ever even when running nitrous.

It has been tracked once, but that doesnt harm the clutch too much does it?

Apart from that, just normal/spirited road use.

Not sure what BHP a standard 02WRX clutch is rated to though, i have a few mods but nothing crazy yet.

I have one of Davids lightened standard flywheels, i have absolutely no problems with it, whist i didn't really notice the flywheel initially, i did notice that the pedal feel was the same as it was with the standard clutch..... which is a good thing... trust me!!
