My mates blew 2 of these so far!

Okay for low power but when pushing on its worth going for a better unit

Isn't it strange how its no longer available??? I didn't go for it in the end ended up getting a Sachs smf and clutch kit. All gen parts. The awesome clutch plate is a Sachs helix mix I think . Would like to find out why its no longer available as I'm sure people who have it would like to know as well!

I wondered this, i asked them when i bought the kit if they could supply just the pressure plate and clutch should i need another later down the line and they said they could but im guessing not as they dont appear to have the clutch kit advertised anymore :(

I would like to know for sure.

Id imagine it would have been 380-400lbft

Ah, right on the limit then! I'm over 300 lb/ft but the lower end so should be fine torque wise. Touch wood the clutch has been fine for me.

Wow, been a while since I read this thread and had a laugh at the comedy posts early on..

Guess what? My clutch is still fine almost two years on......... there's a trackday or two in there too!

mine was...

until I turned the GT3071 up to 2bar, then it started slipping in 6th :cry:

Anyone actually know what the unit was now? as awesome are saying they don't supply parts for it now. so I'm half tempted to get a paddle friction plate and throw that in. My worry is that looking around you can only buy the CGMotorsports paddles on their own, and with a clio currently in my workshop with a completely obliterated box/fly/engine block due to a CG clutch failure I'm a little nervous...
