Hi
Clutch is finished. Not even gripping when moving off in 1st on nominal boost.
Which clutch is best suited for a coupe in this state of tune. Looking for something that isnt going to rattle the teeth out of my head or need 2000rpm to pull off without stalling. Any suggestions? The current clutch was brutal unfortunately I don't know what make it was to avoid it.
Cheers guys

Helix 6 paddle is what you're probably going to need. It's liveable and you need about 1500 - 1700 rpm to pull away with rattling the car to pieces

They sell twinplate kits with integrated flywheel just north of 1000£ Suposed to be more drivable then a paddle clutch and can withstand as much torque you would like

Jopa any idea on price? Shouldn't be the defining factor but unfortunately with one issue and another around 15k has been sunk into this shed over 2 years. If I remember correctly I thought they were about 600 quid

Hi Nigel
Your familar with my car. Broomy sat at Pauls Ah - of course.... I hadn't put two and two together..... A Helix Organic will cope (just) - I'm on a little bit more torque than you and I've run an Organic for years - however, its heavy and can be juddery - I'd REALLY like to know more about the Helix twin-plate setup I emailed Helix with an enquiry a couple of weeks ago, but they haven't bothered to reply....

Helix have awful support. That's true. I've emailed them several times, but no answer.. Only way to have good support from them is to speak with dealer or became a dealer. Too bad from company like Helix.. Tell me what I need and take my money! But no... Neveragain- I've just read your post carefully, you speak about 800 quid. Twin plate with flywheel is about 1300 quid for Impreza. Sorry, missed your price talk I've tried it on Impreza, so good that I want to modify my triple plate sintered Helix to a twin plate organic with springs. You really can't tell that this is a heavy duty clutch..

Bought a clutch from Flea, wasn't expensive at all, in fact fitting and skimming flywheel cost almost twice what the clutch did.
Feels like standard, I can move car without any revs whatsoever.
So far very pleased ! Yes the clutch doesn't have to nasty, and still good for 500bhp!
