stay clear of the ebay clutch kit, waste of bloody money. Do it right first time round and contact Welcome to the API website David will sort it for you. Also plan for a new flywheel as most of them will have hairline cracks by now.

It will be pricey for the clutch & flywheel & labour, but it will save you money in the long run. As if you fit a cheap clutch kit, it will not last long

these clutches wont handle 300bhp imo these are just exedys version of a std clutch, speck to david at API on 01926614333 he sorted me out with race clutch and lightened fly wheel at a good price. what u have to remember with clutches mate is its not so much the bhp its the torque and the 1 he sells can handle up to 400 pound speak to david.

do it right the 1st time if u dont ul be paying £150-200 to get it done again plus the price of the right clutch.

i allmost bough the excedy organic race clutch for about £250 from the same seller.... after i phoned exedy uk they told me that they would not reccomend buying off ebay, they said they have no official dealers on ebay. they told me to phone c&g (clucth and gearbox) motors i think (not sure who now!!).
either way it was only about £20 extra and had peice of mind that my exedy clutch was exactlly as it was supposed to be and not no fake.
pay the little extra for peice of mind its worth it!!!

Yes, That deffo looks like a standard exedy ( i.e. standard sti fitment)
I think it will probably be the organic exedy you will be wanting ( going on the fact you are modifying)

I got mine from import car parts and paid around £320 (do a google search)or as previously said before i would try API mate.

hi all
i bought one from these and is genuine aritcle was told by a m8 that reason there cheap is they buy old warehouse stock from japan where the classics that the clutches are for are slowly being sold off and sent over here etc with the age limit they have on cars, thats what i was told right or wrong i don'nt know but i am happy with mine i also got the flywheel from them but does make driving car a bit harder need more revs to pull away it's a bit light really.

damian.
