which clutch ??
 
Hi all i have a WRX import classic P-reg and the clutch is rather high and prob will be not to long till she starts to slip :(

What im after knowing is what clutches makes and types you have all tryed and would use again

Its a 280bhp model which does get some abuse not just trotted around in

cheers for all input

Chris

wrx classic will be about 220PS. the STI's were 260-280PS depending on what year/version

majorscooby 23-02-2013 07:35 AM

My import is 280bhp and I've just fitted an exedy pink box clutch, has a noticeable better bite now its bedded in but still nice and smooth for town driving.

Speak to alyn at asperformance.

Exedy pink box is the most common choice, I went through two in 2 years and had judder issues with both, most people appear to have no issues though. Make sure you get the fly checked/skimmed though.

+1 for exedy pink box one mate

mr noisy 23-02-2013 02:13 PM

mr noisy 23-02-2013 05:33 PM

what about organic ones ?

SpecB 23-02-2013 05:56 PM

The pink box is organic but stage 1 as its mildly uprated.

Glad you said that as mine judders despite apparently having an 'anti judder kit' or whatever it's called on it as well. It was fitted two months before I bought it so nothing to do with me.....as such!

His is definitely 280ps standard Andy. It's pretty much standard with only the backbox and mid section changed. This is Jonny Ricer's old car.
It's only the early wrx's that were 220ps (Wagon) and 240ps (Saloon)

If you look on the link, you can check out whats yours by what code is stamped on your Vin plate.

Ta cath, its prob more 220 now the clutch is dieing :(

Where is best/cheapest place to buy these pink box clutches then ?? any links will be very handy

ScoobyStu 24-02-2013 11:14 AM

Alyn at Asperformance is very good, I'd look no further than him tbh.

£259 for yours I think for a pink organic.

for clutch,.. I doubt anyone else will beat them for price.

or.. http://importcarparts.co.uk/parts.as...44&var=50&dc=y

these guys prices are excluding VAT.

these will be your cheapest places to buy.

The Pink will be good to the limit of the 5 speed box, although driven properly the standard clutch kits work fine. had a standard euro car parts clutch in my sti wagon running 330bhp and it never let go, (being launched at 5k didn't break it!)

I reckon Alyn at Asperfirmance would match that easy WITH delivery.

mr noisy 24-02-2013 01:57 PM

see now i did think maybe just get a cheap and cheerfull but dont wish to be changing it again in 2months time lol, I plan to stop with the launches but will still be getting a boot full on boost what about the ones on ebay ?? as there is some exedy ones on there ??

I don't have any experience of the flea bay ones, my old sti was always driven with my foot berried in the carpet 50% of the time, the clutch covered 25k miles before car was sold, and never slipped once on a standard cheap one, that was with 330bhp, If you plan to mod I would splash the cash on the pink and make sure who ever fits it does the clutch slave cylinder mod (removing the damping valve) makes for a nice sharp change :D

If your feeling skimpy there are a few 2nd hand one's on scabby-net at the moment.. I personally have never had a 2nd hand clutch, maybe others on here have experience with this (sure some have had 2nd hand paddle clutches and the like)

Found this from Graham Goode :)

Cath 24-02-2013 02:27 PM

You might want to give them a ring/message first as just realised that the bhp doesn't match up to the year :/

asperformance 24-02-2013 02:34 PM

thats the smaller 225mm kit.................will fit but not as good as the factory improved 230mm kits
