Well I Managed To Break The Car Again...

[nanaki]

Hello again all. Looks like im going to be missing yet another monthly meet due to the car being off the road.

Last night while driving home from work I somehow managed to make my clutch explode. The bite point droped to the floor for 2 gear changes and it went boom on the 3rd change when i downshifted aproaching a roundabout. Managed to coast it off the road so at least i didnt block rush hour.

Funilly enough I now need a new clutch so can anyone recommend one for a MY00 UK car that can take a bit of punishment? The car is still the 5 speed box and currently has 310 BHP but if possible i would like to upgrade the clutch beyond the current the power requirements incase i do more upgrades at a later date (ie when money isnt so tight) but time and cost are currently limiting factors so if thats not possible so be it.

Links to what i need would be appreciated as the amount of clutches and kits available are confusing me right now. (still to get my head round the car having another break down)

Thanks in advance.

If your not going mad an exedy stage 1 organic would do. But if your going over 350 i would be looking at a paddle clutch. Coulty on here uses an ap (iirc) and its quite civilised.

PM him and i'm sure he'll give you the details.

May be worth going down the route of uprated flywheel and clutch. If the flywheel is worn it could mean that your car will keep eating clutches!

If your looking for someone to fit it for you in the Kilmarnock area drop me a pm! Know a guy whos pretty handy with imprezas!

Got a new clutch sorted after talking to the guys at AWD. Picked it up saturday and dropped it off at the garage this morning so hopefully it should be fitted soon and i'll be back on the road.

thanks for the advice folks both in thread and pm.
