Like bobby says dont give that guy any of your money. Try Dunc at hypertech or try the likes of Lateral performance.

Do a search on scoobynet for flatfour online and prepare for lots of bad reading.

Another thing i'd look at is wether your box would handle 400bhp, i doubt it would last long, so before you spend a lot of money on the clutch make sure it will be future proof. Obviously it would work with a built 5 speed box but what if you decide to 6 speed it.

Also if the car is a daily driver paddle clutches are not the best.

Cheers, Johnny

this is the info imtrying to find out whats so bad with a paddle clutch in a daily driver?

cars going to be more of a toy from next week on so not bothered looking at getting most things uprated including box internals etc its just i need a clutch now so to save me buying one now and another later on i thought i could get the uprated one now!

I have an exedy hyper single which is a 6 paddle clutch and use it as a daily driver, it takes alot to get used to i stall it all the time not enought rpm and you stall it, too much and your off like a rocket.

Dunc is getting silly prices from Exedy for clutches my 6 speed was going to be £345+VAT, Justclutch on ebay was £267.50 delivered for an Exedy, used them before and they were good. Hypertech said I'd be stupid not to buy at that price and they will still fit it.

Also Imported Car Parts seem to be good prices.
