Hi Richard
Have you upgraded your clutch? Which one did you go for and what are your impressions?

Cheers

Hi Paul,

I've bought the RTS twin friction and I'm booked in to have it fitted.

I'll let you know how i get on with it...

Cheers,

Richard.

Just to update this thread, my car goes in tomorrow morning to have its new clutch fitted.

I'll let you know my thoughts as I bed it in for the recommended 750-1000 Miles.

How did the install go Richard?

What are your initial bedding in impressions?

Hi Paul,

Fitting went smoothly, took them about 5 hours with an oil n filter change as well.

First impressions bearing in mind I've only done about 100 miles in it so far are pretty good. The clutch weight is virtually the same as stock, biting point the same and very easy to live with.

I think if someone else drove it they wouldn't think there was a stage 2 clutch in it. I'll keep you posted as I do more miles.

Cheers,

Richard.

Thanks for the update Richard. What are your plans for the car once it’s bedded in. Are you going stage 2?
