right i have had my hybrid on for a week now running 11psi it is really quite powerful, too powerful for my stock clutch!

what i want to know is, i need an uprated clutch. one which will handle 200bhp+ but i dont know what to get, toby has alot for sale but to be honest i know nothing about clutches i have never had to buy one!
i dont want to have to press the pedal down with both feet and i am on a budget!

any help appreciated!

no clutches are that hard that you need too feet lol, ive got the orc 309 and its a bit stiffer but its really nothing scary tbh its easy to get used to its just quick snappy thats all, it may be expensive but its definetly top dollar and you get a lightened flywheel too which helps with acceleration, but depends on if you got enough spare cash!!

Before you slate me, I own an ORC309! I think that the lightened flywheel thing in this package is a load of shit! Sure the flywheel is lighter, but when you attach the rest of the clutch assembly it is about the same weight as standard as the rest is heavier than stock.

Don't get me wrong, I love it. Holds power brilliantly and is very drivable but the whole thing weighs a similar amount to standard, can' tell the difference betwen the 2. I would more than recommend it though.

my std replacement exedy clutch lasted 2 years. that involved 4 santapod runs and quite a bit of abuse (in my opinion) as i wanted it to die as it juddered and pissed me off.

its ok if your on a budget or will not be upping the power. but if you are i wouldnt bother with it.
