hey all my clutch started slipping yesterday and it looks like it needs replacing.
any thoughts on whats out there and where from? dont want to go stupidly expensive.
cheers, shawn.

 

A common, road-friendly upgrade is the Exedy Organic as supplied by API.

Allegedly good for 400/400

 

Stay standard (genuine Exedy) tried and tested ! I think Harvey has some at a good price

 

so far it is the exedy organic stage 1 clutch with lightened flywheel. Needs to take east road and track with ring trips thrown in :-)

 

API David said, that for the road, don't lighten the flywheel to less than 6.5kg...

 

i've just ordered a (exedy racing clutch 280bhp) for mine which is running 270bhp from graham goode racing which just cost £202 delivered as i've had this clutch before on my first impreza and found it a good all rounder for what i was running .

 

Having now had 2 exedy stage 1's I'll be going for the exedy/API hybrid next time as I understand they've solved the judder.

 

We sure have.

 

could someone explain this please? cheers

 

For general road use 6.5 - 7 kg's is a good set up - it has no downside and offers excellent engine spool. If you go lighter, you stand the chance of losing inertia and the engine can become jerky at low revs in a higher gear. Like following a bus down the high street sort of thing.

API,what clutches do you do that are good for 300bhp and similar torque and how much is labour?

Thanks

 

does that include the sti? Are they the same weight as the wrx. As its the sti i have.

 

anyone? not sure of the weight of the exedy fltwheel. anyone shed any light?

 

Standard GENUINE Exedy is 6.5 Kg's.
