Default Clutch Quandry

I bought this clutch from here and was sold as an Uprated Exedy clutch which has done about 1000miles. I recieved it today and it looks like a stock clutch, am I right? The friction plate has about 6mm left of meat on it. How much do they have when brand new?

Also the underside of the friction plate looks a bit purple as in cooked metal, I presume this is not normal.

I am a bit miffed that the price I paid for it on the premise was that it was an exedy uprated clutch but the price paid was not a million miles off the price of a brand new standard clutch.

I have let the seller know but got no response. What would you do?

I personally wouldn,t byt a 2nd hand clutch considering it,s a labour intensive job fitting it. I would buy new for peace of mind. You need to get a experienced mechanic to check it over to see if it,s worth fitting..

pretty sure the stock clutch on my Bugeye Sti was an Exedy, can't remember though, I'm sure someone can confirm who makes 'em.

Exedy make stock oem replacements as well as uprated jobbies. A part number would help you define what it is you've bought. Then if it isn;t as you were told, you have the necessary amoury to deal with it then

+1 for the above,std exedy clutch is 230mm and should have the part no S110022 stamped on it iirc.
