Clutch and Flywheel

[RS Grant]

A friend is going to be needing an uprated clutch/flywheel along with getting them fitted. He uses the car in traffic, however, likes to give the car a bit of a thrash now and again..... specially on the 1/4 mile!!

His car is a MY95 STi 555 V-Ltd.

Questions:

What clutch/flywheel combo is best to go for??

Where would he buy this from?? Where would he get this fitted??

How much is it all likely to cost him??

Cheers,

Grant

I aint mechanically minded i'm afraid, but speaking from own experience...

I've got a 98 STI Type R, and it had the standard clutch on it when i bought it, and all seemed to be fine - until my 1st trip to Crail

Did rather a few more runs than i said i would and by lunchtime it was smelling a bit! Went up against a TVR, which had been posting similar times to me and came looking for me in the queue () and was doing well until i went for 3rd gear but the clutch wouldnt work!!! Parked the car up, and let the clutch cool so i could do a couple of final runs at the end of the day, and that was the end of my clutch lol.

I went for an AP Organic Clutch from TSL. I have NEVER experienced any clutch problems since it was fitted, and i use Mr Scooby at both Knockhill and Crail. And it's still easy to drive, even with heels on

I sure the techy peeps will come along and give u loads of informative suggestions...
