Looking into getting one as the clutch needs doing so now would be the easiest time to fit both at the same time, just want to know if its worth getting one?
Also, is there any gains to be had from fitting a fast road clutch?


cheers

i would imagine better acceleration as there is less inertia

I know on the previous CTR they did this on the facelift models

I'm looking into a similar clutch for the Pug soon, unsure on what to get though.

Makes the car accelerate and decelerate faster.

pretty sure warren G put one on a 1.4 or 1.6 and he said the difference was huge.

You'll sacrifice torque though.

It's worth doing if you've done a good few other performance mods.

I got mine from WarrenG and quality is awesome Hoping to get it fitted after a good few mods are done maybe

off the line torque, it will bog down easier, but the rest is much better.

make sure if getting one lightened that its done properly, a local lads had 2 burst the bell housing on his corsa and ripped the clutch cover straight off.
