good street clutch

[jacko2]

I have looked at about 50 threads this afternoon and have come up with nothing. This afternoon my vy clubbys clutch died when i was as a set of lights. basically went to take off and lost all pressure. i knew it was on the way out so its not a surprise. the only thing that did surprise me is it didnt start to slip or anything, just late on the uptake then..... dead. so i guess its the pressure plate, luckily my mechanic was at his workshop when it went.

So more to the point what is a good street clutch for a car with 250rwkw? i don't drag this car, i just want a nice clutch that will last, but is not a pig to drive. should i do everything, pressure plate, flywheel etc? cheers for the reply's.

looking at the exedy HD clutch. read a few good things about them, does anyone know what the feel is like on release with this clutch?

The Xtreme clutches are really good, highly praised.

So are the Textralia clutches.

Mal wood do a good clutch for these. Brother had one and it felt like a stock clutch to drive but was nice and strong.

Wouldn't go near textralia, run by a bunch of morons and they shudder like a bitch on 90% of them. Call Mal Woods, highly recommend him

first time i have read a neg comment about Tex.....
real men drive Z grip clutches.... but if you want stock feel. get the X grip.

NPC do a good kit too.
i would use Tex or NPC.
i run a single Tex Z grip and its holding up good with 500hp going through it.

If you want a clutch that works and lasts you can't go past NPC NPC Performance Clutches: Home

I have a Textra x grip i think it is with my cam and im making between 340 - 60rkw and its awsome much much better then standard one, and piss easy to drive with, i love it

Yeh there is no point me getting a ridiculously heavy clutch when i do alot of city driving. problem is my mechanic needs his workshop so i need to try and buy one tomorrow, at this stage its between the exedy heavy duty and RPM 2002. if i had the extra money i would get textralia x grip, but to be honest i don't have an extra $500 floating around and with the way i drive i don't think i need it. both these clutches are around the $1000 mark, any opinions on either? also should i get a new spigot bearing?

Oh ok fair enough mate, yeah the x grip is great, i didnt get a new bearing in mine as i only have 40,000kms i was told if i had 70,000 + they would replace it so depends how many kms its got and if it has been thrashed heaps i suspose, i was quoted $300 fitted for the new bearing so it deff isnt cheap
