Hi all,
Had the car mapped (stage 2) by Whippy himself this week *Brilliant job! Top man.* But the clutch now slips a few days on and is getting progressively worse. I understood from the outset that I need to upgrade the clutch but there is no definitive answer on any forum of which one to buy which is why I am starting this.
Just to add I do intend to tune the car further. I'm aiming around the 270-280+ ft/lbs mark. I phoned around and have a few options, just wanted to get an idea of what the best way round this is...
- Helix quoted me a paddle friction disk at £185.95 and an organic fast road at £142.75. Has anyone used an organic type? Also If I decided to get the paddle, could I use that in conjunction with a standard pressure plate until I tune it further then buy the upgraded pressure plate or do I need to go all out for it to work at all?
- CG motorsport - Didn't fill me with confidence when I asked if it will see more than 2k miles and he said he wont garunteee anything but hey ho. He quoted me at £275.00 for a 5 paddle solid & £325.00 for a 4 paddle sprung (both 3 piece kits)? Iv read mixed reviews on these guys, do I avoid them?
I don't want any slip at all, so I ruled out the XUD and OEM valeo options. In all honesty, how bad are paddle clutches for daily driving, as its currently looking to be the best option?
Cheers.
