I kick mine about daily, now more so than before, its starting to slip but i have to put up with it for now as no time to fit my new kit. Waste of £600 odd tbh.

Hi Tim,


"Awesome GTI clutches are the best cheapest single mass performance clutch on the market", in that out of the cheap single mass clutches that are available on the market, the Awesome GTI adaptation seems to be the best.

However, this has not been proven over time, and if they're selling them for £625 then imagine how much they're buying them for, and therefore they must be made in a cheap factory in China, as are the Technoclutch clutches, which look very similar and are sold on eBay as cheap single mass performance clutches.

The Southbend clutches are available from a good UK distributor, so there's no need to import one, and a Southbend truly is the best single mass performance clutch on the market.

That's my point in case, and now I will indeed move on

Today $900 = £606.

Looks like the Awesome GTI ones are more expensive...

I've been looking at new clutches too, from what I have heard the Southbend ones seem to be excellent for some and a nightmare for others.

Keep us up to date with the Awesome one mate, would be nice if it turned out great.

Cheers, Ash

Point made. Awesome are selling these at an introductory price. I did a lot of research and found that this awesome one offered everything I needed for the best and most reasonable price that was in my budget range.

I was told to stay away from techniclutches and various other companies. I looked at Sachs and LUK too. Also a couple of uk based companies but they were all too expensive for me.

I'm sure the clutches/company you mentioned offer excellent clutches but I just couldn't afford it.

Conclusion - if you are looking for a great and good priced single mass performance clutch and flywheel then go to awesome.
If you have more money and want to buy a higher end clutch then look at Sachs and Southbends clutches - and if you have that money then invest in a new LSD


..... Wish I had that money to burn :/ dam mortgage!

So, to put rumors to rest. I pulled my clutch out on Saturday, to fit a paddle and noted the part numbers.

It WAS NOT techniclutch, but a repainted and relined valeo SMF conversion. As seen here.
