What's the best clutch for 400bhp and similar torque. Do I have to go paddle or is there a alternative that's goin to last a few years

I run a Helix Organic with way over 400bhp and close to 400 lb-ft

It has a heavy pedal action, but its a doddle to drive in traffic compared with a paddle

I get around 25,000 miles out of a friction plate and 50,000 miles out of a cover plate

That's not bad considering the abuse it gets at well over 400.

The Helix is still holding even with the new power added i think il be going this route next

I have just fitted a Helix organic clutch bought from here. http://www.mardigras.co.uk/

how much did you pay in the end and what was the delivery time , when i spoke to the last they said something like 2 month waiting time for some reason and ended up going down a different route

I bought my Helix from MardiGras too - not cheap, but the quality is as good as it gets

i think ive found the same one for 450+vat ill find out tomorrow for definate, if so im going to order one and ill post the link on here

I can't bring myself to pay over £500 for an organic clutch

After 3 years, some serious 400 lbsft abuse (plus several rolling burnouts up Bath's crazy steep hills!) I finally broke my CG Motorsport 6-paddle clutch. Now I have another one sat in the box waiting for me to get round to fitting it. £300 is still a fair amount of money, but far less painful than £500-odd!

Isn't the cg clutch a paddle though. I drive my car alot around town so I want the most drivable clutch

Yeah my one is. Most of the time it's great; soft peddle feel, not much harder to drive than a normal clutch, but it can be a pain if you spend a lot of time in stop/start traffic. The same thing that makes paddle clutches great for racing also makes it a pain in traffic jams; as the clutch heats up it bites harder. CG do a dual friction kit, which makes it an intermediate between organic and cerametallic paddle. I've no idea how much tourque it can handle though.

Barbz organic clutch?

I have a cg fast road clutch before the cg paddle one I have now and it was nice but can't see it holding anything past the 350 torque mark.

Hi All,
Have you got any experience with this cloutch which is on this auction...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIAT-COUPE-2-0-TURBO-16V-20V-6-PADDLE-HEAVY-DUTY-CLUTCH-KIT-/360642532378?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3A

My father in law have Fiat Coupe 20v '99 is looking for cheaper alternative for Helix Organic Clutch Kit

Hi is ready to pay this 700quit but if is any alternative with similar performance...you knew...economic decision
Please let me know anything about this cloutch...

i'm interested too

none try it?

I just got a new clutch from joe @ fcss which is half organic and half paddle and drives like a standard clutch.

I think that also is the helix one
I have had it on my car for years ... Abit heavy 'ish pedal but a brilliant clutch

Yeah it's what you need with a bit of torque. Tho mine has started to judder a bit the last thousand miles. Not as nice as new.. I suppose my worn engine mounts may have something to do with it.

Who makes the Barbz organic clutch? Who is the supplier? Anyone know?

Mine looked identical to pictures of the Helix, but there were no stamped name or mark on it..

I can supply the paddles but for drivability the organic is preffered.

Eddie at A E car can supply the organics that me and Barbz use.
