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. | |

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

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 | |

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 |
