Gone up a bit since I had it. Nick Mann is your fella for the adapter flange and bolts.

Yeah still very good value though
Defnitely, a very good package all in all
Cheers chaps...
The search facility worked and I got the perfect thread with the exact information I needed!
So I am looking for an Evo 7-9 clutch kit to replace my standard one.
Looking at Camskill, they have two that I am interested in.
An Exedy racing clutch for £370, to which I will need to add the cost of a flywheel
http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.p...m8b0s2339p2646
Or a standard clutch kit at £215
http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.p...m8b0s2339p2646
Will this standard flywheel fit with the Exedy clutch above? Or is there an Exedy flywheel I am not seeing. This is currently at £205.
http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.p...m8b0s2339p7595
So I would be looking at either £575 for the Exedy clutch or £420 for the stock Evo clutch. What would people recommend? I still need to add cost of fitting to this too. (At this point money is not a major issue).
My car has a piggy back ECU, EBC and is running just under 290bhp... with a possible future expansion in power, I might be better off going for the Exedy? But then the stock Evo one is surely good enough to handle that power, well at least better than the stock VR4 clutch.

how come the clutch has gone so soon?or was it not a new one when you did the convertion?
"Finishing second means you are the first person to lose"................ (Gilles Villeneuve)
Nah, it wasn't new. It was the one off Mo's car which had seen better days. I risked putting it on back then but spending the best part of £2k that month getting the conversion done (with loads of extras bits), I couldnt afford to go for a new clutch. So here I am, exactly 5 months down the line needing one
I think what killed it for me was the quarter mile runs last week. Not good for the clutch. This week, the acceleration has been feeling lethargic and it was only this evening when I was out driving and had a Ferrari behind me, I tried to play with it, but couldnt get any power down, I thought I need to work this out cos it does not feel good.
Clutches are normally rated by torque, not power. So your torque figure is the important bit.
Circular clutches tend to have more user-friendly characterisitics, pucked clutches tend to cope with more torque.
If I had the money, I would be buying a twin-plate clutch, probably exedy. It seems to be a good way of keeping some user friendliness and having the ability to cope with a few launches and plenty of torque.
Just had a look on eBay and found this item.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...fvi%3D1&_rdc=1
The seller confirmed that it can handle my current torque figures of 315ft/lb quite easily. Looks like a good deal? At £310 it looks like its the same clutch as the top Camskill one I linked above?
And when I said money isnt an issue, I didnt mean that I wanted to spend £1500 on a clutch
It all depends on what you want to do later. Also remember that pretty much every clutch manufacturer will only warranty friction plates if the flywheel is changed at the same time. Evo flywheels will fit with my adapter plate. Lighter flywheels make the car a bit more responsive.
I've found this package deal which has interested me now. The Exedy flywheel is much lighter than the stock Evo one (from Camskil, so I'm thinking its probably worth the extra few ££s now to make sure I have a nice working clutch with potential.

Can anyone see anything that I'm missing now? I've emailed the seller to see if it includes all pins and bolts for fitting. And apart from the adaptor plate (which Nick has), I'm ready to go, arent I?
I was recommended that package too..
Thanks Stu.
Did you go for the package in the end? If not what did you go for?
Looks like a good package at a good price Atik.
Just a heads up from some of the Evo guys when I was looking around.....they didn't like the Exedy quality unless it was a twin/triple. A few guys have had new ones fail in just a few thousand miles.
I went for a Competition Clutch in the end: http://www.competitionclutch.co.uk/
but purchased it from RSE Motorsport (an MLR Trader). They were extremely helpful.
I went for the 6 puk clutch (1620) and ultra lightweight flywheel.
The competition clutches look good. Quite reasonable prices for such higher torque handling capabilities.
I've gone for the Exedy package deal. Hopefully it will be ok for me as I am generally a sedate driver with the odd track day and quarter mile run. If I start getting problems, I'll have the warranty to fall back on.
Fingers crossed.
You should be ok with that one Atik as it is still working great in Starscreams car , You better start going down the gym though as the pedal is about 4 times harder
is this another manual failure?
