where's the best place to buy a helix organic ( not paddle ) clutch from at a good price with maybe a fccuk discount ?

From Helix of course

or

CG do a fast road clutch unit which is organic.

Helix probably won't sell direct to consumers

I've had my last three Helix Organic clutches through Mardi Gras Motorsport -

Unit 45 & 46,
Silverstone Circuit,
Silverstone, Towcester,
Northants, NN12 8GZ

thanks for the quick replys guys and i did have alook a Mardi Gras motorsport last night

CG, is that Barbz..? (TorqueItalia)
Barbz's organic is good anyway. As far as I could see it was pretty much a Helix-copy.. But much cheaper.

i don't want a copy helix , i want the real thing

You better get the cash out then mate, they are not cheap, but they are bloody good and really nice to use. Saying that the only other clutch I've used is a 4 paddle which was awful. Heard good news about Barbz clutch though.

remember that if you want to save a few quid, when the Helix friction plate wears out, you can keep the cover plate - this is what I did last time

However, the splines on the cover plate are now quite worn (done over 50,000 miles) and it's juddering a bit on very low-rev starts

thats my thorts too Nigel

Iain - I had a genuine helix on my old coupe and it was brilliant. Near stnd as I've driven and held circa 320lb/ft.

In saying that, Barbz has said his one is just as good.

If I were you and lived within 60miles of the magician himself, I would be popping down for a test in a car he's fitted one to, and make my mind up from there!!

Use Nigel or Barbz,
The cg one is an organic friction plate but stock cover.

Barbz or Nigel will make sure you get the right quality clutch .

If you're expecting to put some decent power through the clutch, you'll need to extra clamping force that the Helix cover plate gives you. With a stock cover, you could be reducing the torque capacity considerably.

Something to bear in mid is that Helix are spectacularly cautious with their ratings. The Organic is rated for something like 275 lb-ft. I've been putting 350+ lb-ft through mine for years and even now, when it's getting near to the end of its life, it's still handling the power.

PM me if you want me to get you a price

Can't beat helix, there is something about them that just has that quality feel and it's pricey for a reason !

Iain, what's your setup?

Iain, speak to Barbz mate. He deals with Helix on a regular basis.

gt28r.86
ported manifold
ported throttle body
3" downpipe
3" decat
2.5" decat back or 3" all the way
3.8 fpr
evo fmic
walbro fuel pump
wiring mod
avc-r boost controler

looking to hit 350+ bhp with around 335 lbft

Speak to Barbz or Nigel,there setups work.

What sort of cost are we looking at from barbz or nigel as I think mine is on its last legs (apparently current clutch only done 13k)

sorry to re-open? any update on costs?

A helix organic clutch kit is around 560ish...
