Clutches are torque rated by the way, not BHP rated.

I've got one of these.
It is so smelly, I thought it would last about 5 min.
3 point turns are a bit of a
Done 20K with about 6 track days and it is fine so far.
Doesn't like slipping, so is a f*cker for traffic light dragging.
Doesn't like flat foot shifting either, but can't really blame it for that.
Running about 370 ft/lb.
I tend to be fairly easy on transmission and OE clutch lasted 100K.

Hi Ryan,

Exedy Pinkbox will do the job nicely and at very sensible money: http://www.superhids.co.uk/clutches-...-6-speed-.html

Lightweight flywheel is well worthhttp://www.superhids.co.uk/clutches-and-lightweight-flywheels/subaru-impreza/lightweight-6-7kgs-forged-flywheel-6-speed.htmlwhile, makes the car more responsive to drive and far nicer.

Don't go for a paddle clutch. For your torque level and road use, the ACT organic SB4 HDSS is perfect. Rated for over 500lbft Pedal's a bit heavier but you get used to that.
