Default What clutch?

My clutch has had it,the previous owner had put an uprated clutch in the car in january and it seems it was rubbish or its slipping.Is there anyway to adjust it or are they adjustable?If not what clutch can I put in which can handle the power (320hp),im not looking to spend shed loads!
Cheers,
Andy

Well, for what it's worth, my standard Subaru clutch has lasted 82,000 miles - even allowing for the extra power I would think it should last.

I'd probably recommend speaking to David @ API about the Exedy clutch they do.
I have had 2 now and can't fault them at all

Just as light as the original..

No-One has actually answered my question why these are called ORGANIC Clutches? Organic gives the indication that it contains Carbon in its molecules - is this why it's called Organic?

Is that the one you brought?

Thats an OE replacement clutch, not a uprated one. Motor factors do them for about £100+vat
