Uprated Clutch

[Essex_Lad]

how long is a clutch meant to last! mines done 96K and i dont think its been replaced!

i tried a 0-60 last night and it jus didnt pull off right and it stunk of burnin!

i was lookin at the k-tec uprated are they ne good? would it still be as heavy as the standard ones?

how much to fit a clutch?

Thanx Alex

Think 96K is OK.... Youve probably not been driving like your granny all the time? So 96K is OK!!!

Havent tried the K-Tec one, I use Sachs sporting, 4 finger sinter metal clutch with uprated springs.... Total overkill for the road, but for frequent track use its OK... The last one only lasted 40K The K-tec would probably be heavier than the standard item.... but dunno!!!

how much is the sach one?

 

[cliokongen]

I dont know the UK price, but in Denmark I was about 420 £, for the same type of parts as with the K-tec one.... So expensive, but sure does work!!!

get the R5 GTT uprated clutch. Its £60 in vat, and rated to 200bhp.

iv got one and its bloody good. takes a bit of getting used to, bit on and off for a few months but spot on now, and get the power down no problems!

how much would it cost to fit one if i bought the EBC one?

i was quoted 650 to fit a clutch in bristol, 10 hours labour, not an easy job due to the amount of clio they have to remove to find the damn thing!!

 

[sledge racer]

worth shopping around thoug as various quotes given

sorry more info - BB did seem to be the cheapest all fitted, so give them a buzz
