Is it time for another uprated clutch/lightned flywheel GB from API yet?
 

Just wondering...:)

I'm up for it if you can find enough buyers. Exedy performance clutches that are taking 400 hp on some cars we have fitted it to No slip no judder a perfect solution.

Performance organic with release bearing £ 250.00
light weight flywheel £ 120.00
Flywheel deposit pending old unit return £ 50.00

Carriage £ 16.00

Fitting £200.00

All plus VAT for the 5 speed kit.

6 speed clutch £ 320.00
Billet light flywheel [ 5 Kg's ] £ 285.00 no exchange
Carriage £ 16.00

Fittting £ 250.00 [ cos it's heavier ]

All plus VAT

Need 5 of each to qualify for the GB. Fitting can be done Saturday mornings or any other day while you wait. Bacon rolls [ on a Saturday ] and coffee supplied.

Any time you are ready guys.

Good Luck David APi

so whats the price all in

stu

Right then, I'll start it off by putting my name down for the full 5 speed clutch and flywheel kit. Thanks, David :)

For what ?? Wha model car ??

Supply or fitted ?

David

Hi David,

Possibly up for a 5-spd kit for a '95 JDM WRX. Is that a modified standard flywheel on an exchange basis, and how much is it lightened? You're way over west aren't you? ... so that'd be delivered rather than fitted.

Andy

i could be tempted for the full monty on a 04 jdm sti

I supposer that the middle of England does look like ' way over west ' from the Siberian wastes of Cambridgeshire.:lol:

We are 12 miles west of Daventry and 4 miles from junc 12 of the M40, there is a map on our web site. One of my staff commuted from Peterborough for nearly a year till he could move house so on a real drag.

Anyway it'd be nice for you to see how the 'other half live '.

David APi

Don't just talk about it do it - you know it makes sense..........

David APi

hi mate,,,my car is a my98 sti v4

like a price on suply only,,as your miles away

unless you can do me a deal on getting my car up to 350 ish bhp (iv got 2k to play with),,,iv only got a full decat on at the mo

let me know

thanks stu

How much do the lightened flywheel weigh?

Credit card starting to go in to meltdown!!!!:D

david,

will give you a call tomorrow - there are a few things i am toying with at the mo so would be interested to see if we could do a deal on an 'all in'?

David, going by your prices, if I bring my classic RB5 (you know these quite well mate ;) ) to have the work done it would cost.

Performance organic with release bearing £ 250.00
Light weight flywheel £ 120.00
Fitting £ 200.00
Total £ 570.00
---------
Total + VAT £ 669.75

Are my figures correct?

I hate to say it but, spot on. No chance here of a ' calculator error ' :nono: I can see that you have us figured out:D

Fitting is available from the 16th Oct at the moment. Saturday the 21st may be convenient to both of us ?? Let me know and l'll book you in.

David APi

A genuine 350 is not possible at that budget. The simple limit on an STi 4 is around 330 as that is the official ' limit' of the 440 injectors. We can squeeze it up a bit more than 330 by increasing fuel pressure and making the injectors work harder.

If you give me a ring l'll talk you through the options and the expected results.

Clutch and light flywheel is £370.00 + £16.00 Carriage + VAT £453.55 + £50.00 deposit until the flywheel arrives back. We pay for and collect the wheel when you tell us it is available.

David APi

Approx 7 Kg's. we machine them to a set size, but cast iron varies in density so some come up a bit heavier and some a bit lighter.

David APi

So is anyone gonna start a list for this group buy :)

I put my name down above but we don't seem to be getting anywhere :(

Get your names down, you can't get much better than this for the money.

I have this set up on my car and I'm very happy with it, I'm running around 330 with No clutch judder and it's so smooth to pull away. one of the best mods I've ever done on the car and there have been quite a few.

The lightened flywheel is well worth having, I wouldn't of thought it could make so much differance but it really does rev more freely.

Ta !! Danny cheques in the post mate :D :hjtwofing

Hi David,

As we spoke last week, put me down for the 5speed+flywheel etc for my Legacy. I'll mail you about the shipping and stuff.

Mal

forgive me for potentially appearing a numpty ..... but what are the benefits of making such changes ?

Basically, a lighter flywheel means that there is less inertia for the engine to overcome during acceleration so less power is absorbed. An uprated clutch is needed when you reach the point where your existing one starts slipping due to its inability to handle the power that's being fed through it or it might just be worn in which case the Exedy clutch doesn't judder on take up the way the standard one does. Do a search in Drivetrain and you'll find plenty to keep you reading :)

Right, then...

The savings in this GB are really substantial, guys, so if you're thinking about it get your name down :)

To anyone sitting on the fence:

DO IT!! :thumb:

Great clutch and service from David!

Bit of a giveaway at those prices too!

I don't know what to do, i'm currently running 333bhp & 325lbs on the standard wrx clutch which is fine unless i launch it, i don't know how long it's gonna last but it doesn't slip at the moment so would probably not need one until next year, what do i do :wonder:

You should go for one, there good at those prices. Thats what im doing ive been driving with a slipping clutch for a couple of months but because of the prices im going to do it before it goes completely.

Granby: I agree with the man above - it can only be a matter of time before you need a clutch and these prices are really very good. Quality is beyond doubt. Only 2 more needed for the 5 speed kit :)
