Mate get A Xtreme Button clutch should cost you around $950 installed and should be enough from what your saying

chasing around 200rwkw. I want this to remain my daily driver but still be able to go to circuit days and drags.what do people have out there and what is their thought on their particular clutch setup?

hey mate i just went through this myself.. i got 210rwkw, i went with the exedy heavy duty cushioned button.. my car is a daily driver the clutch feels real nice bit heavier than stock one but have to compromise a bit if you want power. got clutch from croydon for $520 my mechanic installed cost me bout $ 810 all up wit flyweel machined. clutch grips like nothing i driven before would reccomend it.

hey mate

i would recommend xtreme heavy duty cushion button. the pedal feels firmer without being excessively heavy, the grip is firm and is easier to drive!

ideal for daily driving with a spirited run here and there. they are ideal for engagement on and off...preferably no riding of clutch. depending on your engagement a little bit of shudder on take up can be felt.

xtreme HD cushion button should cost around $500-550

goodluck with that mate,

Cheers

Mate,

I've just got a clutch kit from Jim Berry in QLD. He delivers for free and his clutches are awesome!!

Do a search on the forums for jim berry.... People rave about his clutches and if you call the guy himself, he is a wealth of knowledge...

do not go extreme heavy duty mine started slipping

after 4 weeks and i only had 200rwkw

atleast go a button.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
