Browner Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Hi guys, I recently bought a forged engine, clutch kit and a few other parts from a member on here. I asked him to send me pics of the clutch once the engine was out. I was told it was a performance clutch kit, although he wasnt sure what type only that it ran 318bhp with no slip or issues. Happy days... or so I thought! These are the pics he sent me... looks like a standard clutch to me? Anyone any opinions? I'm not paying that money for a stanard clutch. And now I'm worried that the engine may not even be forged??? Help please Browner Quote
jayc-glanza17 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 doesn't look standard, because it has 6 springs, standard has 4 if I remember rightly, looks like an exedy paddle I used to have.and if you are on about danb 87 with the black gt, that is definitely forged, as I know the guy who previously owned car and the guy who mapped that car..

StuDoc 72 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Looks pretty standard to me mate maybe stage 1 at best. Id imagine if it was holding 318bhp with no slip it would have to be paddle or a racing clutch.If someone selling isnt honest about 1 thing how can u be confident in what your buying.

starletburkie Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 I'd say that was an Exedy organic. thats what it is Quote
corofin12345 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) no markings on it conor..? looks like an exedy stage 1 organic clutch kit Edited March 17, 2013 by corofin12345 Quote
Roachy1994 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EXEDY-RACING-ORGANIC-CLUTCH-KIT-STARLET-1-3-EP82-GT-TURBO-EP91-GLANZA-V-TD04-/300872612745?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AStarlet&hash=item460d67bb89 looks like one definately Quote
_shaun_ Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Clutch cover looks like an oem or exedy at best all other brands I can think of are coloured Quote
danb87 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 As stated in ad mate its excedy. An as jay said the car was runnin 318hp an never had any issuesDan Quote
Browner Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 How long was it running 318bhp? I've never seen an organic clutch run that power? Quote
Idrees Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 It does look like an Exedy Organic. Looks fairly worn, any closer pictures? Quote
danb87 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Since the lad before me had it mapped. An i used it for a daily for 3 months. Never slipped or anything so must have been suitable. I can pass you onto other members who know the car personally if needs beDan Quote
starletburkie Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 corey ran 280 odd bhp on one for awile browner Quote
Browner Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 Would rather put something decent in it while the box is apart. No point in pulling it all apart again. I plan to run a nitrous kit so the torque will blow that clutch to bits for sure. An exedy organic clutch is basically a branded OEM replacement Quote
jayc-glanza17 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 glad could help with your investigations browner thru PM..you will need stronger clutch after you told me your plans.. my organic lasted fine with 272 bhp, but wore quickly..this clutch in pics wont last much longer with 300bhp.. Quote
Browner Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 There is a lot of wear on the clutch to be fair. Even an exedy paddle clutch won't last a decent amount of time with a torquey starlet over 300bhp Quote
