Post by: jamiep91 on January 08, 2014, 07:56:02 pm
Where is the best place to get a clutch from I don't wanna spend too much but my car is about 350 bhp ATM and not sure on torque but it's gonna be going to r tech soon for a map . Just had a look at my standard clutch and flywheel and the flywheel is knacekred , do I get a standard DMF and then a Sachs clutch plate or a standard one I'm not gonna be going for anymore power just a better map . Any help will be appreciated

Contact Alex (vRSAlex on here) at AKStuning, he may be able to sort you out.

He has been (and may still be) running a Group Buy on the Helix clutch. I've had one fitted about a month ago and it feels great.

PM Alex here.....

^^^^ And a fine motto it is too!

I used that one while playing Hungry Hippos with my 2 year old granddaughter over Christmas. Never lost a game!!  :grin:

Thanks mate I'll give him a try see what he says I need it ASAP though like within the next couple of days as the engines hanging on the crane waiting to go in .

Any idea what sort of power the standard clutch can handle ?

Stock clutch can slip anywhere from 260 bhp to 380 bhp. Just wont last long.

I have dmf's and slaves in stock.  Need to order more kits from Helix but I do have a very low mileage sachs performance kit in.

How much would you want for that mate with a flywheel and slave ?
