I think it's clutch time...

Too much fun with ESP switched off and it's starting to slip and smell now :(

 

Any recommendations on an aftermarket upgrade. Obviously something the can cope with the "fun times"... Will be doing fly at same time...

I don't think I'm quite due one (yet) but have people got recommendations for I guess what we call 'fast road use'? I won't be doing donuts or go on tracks but you've got to have fun sometimes. I've got a 07 DE.

That one looks good for everything you get.

 

However, if I couldn't spring for a clutch/flywheel combo how do the Exedy clutches stack up? Clark has them for less than £300.

That Clark Motorsport set up looks useful! Not a bad price either!

I'm running the Exedy clutch and cc flywheel - clutch holding up fine and it gets enough abuse ;)

Yeah, I'm getting back in the habit of embarrassing corsa drivers and making them look silly in front of their girlfriends... I certainly need something more in line with my driving style. I don't have a history of driving fast road Jap cars to pootle about in them... Like elderly Jaguar F-type drivers. :lol:

The Xtreme kit is very popular now with many happy owners. We are the UK distributor for Xtreme and offer full UK back up and support. Let me know if we can help further :)

Awesome, cheers! IF my garage will buy from you instead of euro car parts then I'll go down that route for sure. Having just changed jobs, I can't really afford that kind of money without a monthly finance deal... Hmmmm.

I had a quick chat with a mechanic I know (well, my dad knows) and his response was that they would charge a flat rate to fit a clutch and flywheel, I just had to spend whatever silly amount I wanted and turn up with the parts for them.
