Exedy Uprated Organic Clutch GROUPBY
Subaru's seem to suffer from a serious clutch issue, mainly judder ness! The judder ness often causes the ride to become uncomfortable and annoys the hell out of you..well does me any how.. 
I have been thinking of getting my clutch changed for sometime now, however can not afford to like many other Scooby members....
....so I thought we could all benefit from a groupby..

Agree...AP is a more of a bigger name...my car was fitted with a AP Organic clutch just before i bought the car..only been 9 months and already needs replacing... 
(driven sensebly and only launched afew times)
So after some research, i decided to go for an Excedy after hearing lots of reviews from other member + the level of service provided from API...

Remember that the AP Organic is just an Exedy fiddled about with by AP - look at the logo on the cover AND that the AP does not include the release bearing and the Exedy from me does.......
AP is sought after because until we started selling the Exedy at a competitive price there was no known, viable, alternative.
AND we've never yet had a warranty complaint - for ANY reason.

Would this clutch work with a 6speed box as well?
I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but there is a difference in diameter between the 5MT and 6MT clutch and flywheel isn't there?

Very interested, just a question regarding the flywheel, what is the weight of it, and is it new?? Or can the existing one be skimmed if so how much would that cost??
I'm guessing no compatiblity issues with an STI V5??
cheers

no issues with a V5 as I run one on my my99.
hasnt given me any bother at all in 12k miles at 300+ bhp, which I guess is all you can ask for when buying a clutch.

Im also guessing that the lightened flywheel is a skimmed/lightened/machined OE unit that would be in the region of 9 - 11 kgs to fit.
this makes for a speedier response when going for it as there is less inertia with a reduced mass

Will not fit a bugeye...to get the price's API has to buy the clutches in bulk and have to be the same....
This group buy is aimed for the Classic Scoobies only...
The cost is higer for the newer shape, as there is no bulk buy...
Otherwise £670 all in for classic's

Not sure about 2002 on 5 speeds as we haven't seen one yet for a clutch repair [ still under warranty with IM mostyly ]
However it does work on a 6 speed conversion into a classic car. The flywheel on a 6 speed car is different to all 5 speed flywheels. BUT, in my opinion you can put a classic flywheel and clutch on a 6 speed car and it will work.
Confused?? how do you think us poor suppliers feel ??
The average weight of an APi skimmed and lightened OEM flywheel is 8 Kg the OEM start at 11.5 on our weight checking from time to time.
That help ??
Good Luck all David APi Engines / APi Impreza

so I can have both the clutch and flywheel at the same prices as listed above? I have the 2001 bugeye (one of the first UK official models to land) I'm just a bit weary of ripping the clutch to shreds sometime soon with all that power
