Never fitted One of these but a stock one can take 300bhp easy enough.

I run over 400 lbsft on my CG Motorsport 6-paddle clutch. Great clutch and very good price too.

I thought this was tested a while back, and the GTA clutch handled less torque than the standard.

Thanks for the info guys. I know im not running power that the standard clutch couldnt handle but sooner rather than later ill be going down the tuning route and hoping to end up around the 350 mark. So, can i get a decent uprated clutch for £200 to suit?

Cheers, Jim

Not for £200
Decent ones start around £300-£350

I hate it when companies rate their clutches by horsepower. 500 bhp on what; a lorry? a motorbike? Completely useless measurement for clutches.

After reading the threads posted above, I really wouldn't do it. You ask if they're any good, everyone says avoid like the plague but you ignore the advice? crazy buy cheap buy twice.


Horsing around's a serious business.

Fair point, but to be honest Im on a tight budget and cant spend anymore than this. Theres quite a few big and little jobs that need sorting atm and cannot warrant spending big bucks on a clutch. Tbh im struggling to afford to run the coupe nevermind maintain it. Ill cross the "i told you so" bridge when i come to it laugh
