Clutch

[jayR33]

Hi All,

Just wondering what sort of clutch would be able to support around 230 rwkw. I dont want to spend much more than $500-$800. Thanks

For upto $800, get a button clutch and upgrade your pressure plate - dont really have many options at that price range.

Depending on how you drive you may want to consider saving for a twin plate.

Im making just under 190rwkw, but i thougt i'd get something that would allow some extra scope for future mods. But i think your right, i'll just wait for this clutch to let go and see what happens..... Thanks for the help...

Jayson, at 190rwkw, it could be sooner rather than later. Alot of people start having troubles at or earlier than that figure (myself included) - depends on what shape the stock one is in. My suggestion is dont go doing too many hard launches until you upgrade. Having used both the button clutch and twin plate - if you can definately save up. You can pick up a decent twin for $1200 or less - and a couple of hundred for fitting.

Yeah i realise that Steve. As it is i struggle to get traction on the street so i won't be launching too hard, and considering i havent changed the clutch on my car yet (i've had it 4 years / 70 000kms), i think its due for a change. I just want to weigh up my options before hand so that when the clutch eventually lets go i know what to get.
