Just wondering what other starlet owners are using clutch wise for 200+ bhp motors?

yeah there is many different versions of clutches, ones with no springs or some paddle clutches are hard to slip. you can't really keep them on the biting point till the car is rolling at a pace where you can fully let the clutch out, i would like to get a clutch which is best of both worlds, but hard to get a good compromise i think.

yea its the only alternative tbh.. only over thing that would handle the power is a paddle clutch but from what i hear they are absolute pain in the ass for everyday driving like traffic etc.

my orc has quiet a snappy bitepoint but its controlable

ben has a exedy ceramic twin plate thing, i find it fine to drive, but its not holding out well for the quarter but where changing clutch fluid tomorrow seeing if that makes a difference.

but everyday driving its ok! not as bad as it could be.

probably best like that tho kelly, so that if the other one did break down youve always got the daily driver, but if you modded the auto and it bit the bullet you would be screwed and not in the friendly on your back type of way

erm.. im using an excedy 750 lbs pedal pressure plate.. & a pwr clutches organic clutch.. so far so good for 1.7bar on a td04l ;)

But im thinking about going up a knotch soon & iv decided to keep the pressure plate i have & get a helix competition pedal (sprung centre) clutch..

Kelly should get the Zep Automatic Transmission Upgrade, only a £1000 or so :p.

Well I know I was far short of 200bhp, but I did have a CAP Paddle clutch which ran fine, apart from first gear/reverse, but you quickly acclimatise - just needs a few more revs than usual to pull away smoothly. But Dan will be able to testify better as it'll be on his car soon enough
