How much piower are you running, and whats your intended use? Are you going to be launching it often?

well you want an ap or helic organic clutch it may hold on but if not you need a twin plate and thats going to cost a lot of dosh and p.s that sort of torque will see that 5 spped of unless it has a ppg or simlar gear kit in it

Shirley it would be cheaper to replace standard(ish) clutches every now and then, rather than get a decent clutch in there and have to replace the box?!?!

The Helix Organic is a decent clutch and will take 450 ft/llb of torque, if you're planning on launching the car then realistically you're going to be entering twin plate territory. The Exeddy twin plate is a decent bit of kit, I've driven quite a few different cars at varying levels with that and it's a nice drive. Just don't go the paddle clutch route, they're bloody hideous things.

ps i cant see an sc42 making 450ft really even on a 2.1 so ap or helix is they way to go but there about 500 quid and then you need fitting which should only take 3 hours max 4 yeah and them extreme clutchs i hear are good but you have to buy has a package flywheel and clutch

Try David at APi for one of their clutches. Got one on mine and its very good and like driving on a nornmal clutch. Not sure what they are rated to but 400+ i think. Give him a call and he will talk you through it.
