Uprated clutches (black diamond etc) are a waste of time, just get a new (not remanufactured) one if yours is knackered. A clutch cannot help with accleration unless there is a problem with yours.

Take your flywheel off and get it lightened if you really want to, except to pay about £50-70 for it to be lightened.

You're thinking of going from a 1.2 SXi to a 3.0 V6?

Of course you are.

lightening the fly wheel only makes it less easy to drive round town etc as the engine revs will drop far quicker when your changing gear etc

good for racers as they have the car flat out but not much use on a road car unless you have oodles of torque low down

i very much doubt a 1.2 16v corsa would ever need a clutch upgrade, it wont slip unless its fucked, there isnt enough torque from that engine to do it.

Probably his gearbox that helped his acceleration. Unless yours is worn and slipping which I doubt with that kind of power a new clutch will make feck all difference. Just run it into the ground a lob a valver under the bonnet. Nearly as common a mod now as fitting 17's :lol:

if flywheels are available for the X12XE, expect prices of around £300-£400

Sports clutches are re-cons that can handle more power, lightened flywheel will get power down better

is there such a thing? coz i was racing that ibiza (on my video) and its a 1.4 kicking out about 65 - 70 bhp, now he says he has a sports clutch in it and i could tell coz up 2 about 0 he sort of kept up but then he just lost, but i was thinking if i had a sports clutch it may make the acceleration a little better. i have about 80 bhp
