To be honest mate I've never heard anything good about them they are cheap in price and cheap in makeup,get a clutch that is built and fit for purpose,before I can recommend you a clutch I need to know how you use the car road,road&track,track etc...and how much power your car is running.SJ.

Loads of people seem to hate them but I had one on my classic for years with no problems,
Used to go Santa Pod a lot to so it had some launches, was fine when I sold the car and continued to be for over a year until the car was put thru a dry stone wall by the new owner.

I would go for the pink box organic Exedy clutch which would be more then enough to handle your power now and in the future and still have good road manners,it's a very good upgrade from the standard clutch.SJ.

Stig mate,you must of been one of the lucky onesI consider Scoobynet to have some of the best top trade sellers on any Internet forum,and the fact that they do not sell the before mentioned clutch or stock them should speak for itself.SJ.

I ran one of these clutches in my 205 1900 road rally car, granted at that point it wasn't putting out anywhere near the power of a Subaru but they do take a hammering all night and I did have problems with clutch slip when it got hot. I replaced it for an OMP ridged paddle plate which cured the problem so the pressure plate was up to the job but I really wouldn't consider putting one in an Impreza especially if your considering upping the power.

Other than mateys post above, imhave notmheard one single good thing about techniclutch.

Pretty hated on the ford scene and mate had had one for his focus rs.... Needless to say it was removed shortly after fitting as it slipped and replaced with an AP

Imo you buy cheap, you buys twice
