Uprated Meganne Clutch?

[Laine_16v]

Can you get them?

I've just obliterated my second (1 month old) clutch into about 70 million pieces on the ring road, and dont fancy forking out £110 every month for a new one.

[MAXIBOY]

yes..buy a paddle

Paddle clutch are no good for a road car. I know you wouldnt understand this as your car has never moved, but im sure it looks shiny in its garage with its expensive clutch.

HAHAHA i actually laughed out loud :lol:

[MAXIBOY]

they are great for a road car..but only if you drive them above 40mph..

so you wouldn't know.. :D

[sideways danny]

it's same as 172, with a different release bearing. Helix organic is about £320 of paddle is about £380 IIRC

[bbaazz-08]

:lol: :lol: thats exactly who i tought of when i saw that comment

[Coops]

paddle is no different to use than any other clutch, i find mine perfect, in heavy traffic i just wait till cars infront move a bit and roll in 1st, but i do that anyway

[Dave Peach]

The same hey?

Some are quite nice, and some (depending on the clamp force of the cover usually) can be quite snappy. Paddle clutches will always have a shorter life than an organic clutch though. I'd only go for a paddle is you actually need it

[stan]

See Laine, this is what you get for trying to launch in 3rd at 9000rpm, whilst trying to "do" a corsa LET off the lights!!!

The Helix paddles are sprung, so they dont bite harshly like older type paddles, they feel no more harsh than a standard clutch.

They wear quicker though, alot quicker, especially with your chavvy driving Elaine.

[volymmannen]

can a organic clutch handle the torque when you use turbo.??

[stan]

Depends on the diaphram/cover I guess.

I'd go for a paddle...
I think the helix ones are good for about 300lb.ft CONTINIOUS loading.

[Evogone]

I have a Helix paddle in the rally car and its fine on the road. It must have had a couple of hundred standing start (start of a stage) and when the box was last out it wasnt even half worn... :D

[stan]

Yeah im talking about when fitted to engines making decent torque/power, not std-ish ones.

[Laine_16v]

I wasnt launchihng at 9000rpm lmfao!

I was at full throttle yes, changing from 2nd to 3rd (not full throttle gear changing though). And it just went bang and sounded like a million bolts fell of the bottom of my car onto the road, im about to go and take it apart now :(

[Evogone]

Yeah im talking about when fitted to engines making decent torque/power, not std-ish ones.

Slicks and LSD with hundreds of full bore standing starts put far more strain on the clutch so can not compare to an equivelant road car.

Either way its lasted really well and would recommend one for pootling round town too. :wink:

[stan]

8" Slicks, LSD, Dog-box, 230-odd-bhp=less than one season (probably 5 or 6 events).

[Evogone]

8" Slicks, LSD, Dog-box, 230-odd-bhp=less than one season (probably 5 or 6 events).

Wouldnt be happy with that, i would send it back to Helix. Dogbox should help longegevity a bit as there is less chance off clutch slip (riding the clutch) between gears.

All the people i know in fwd rallycars clutches last at least 2 season before a new plate is used even cars with way more hp and wider tyres and rwd so more load from a start.!!

Ouch, put me off too much hp...car would be in bits after every event..!

[Dave Peach]

Stan, you forgot to mention you have one for sale.

How many FWD rally cars do you compete against with 230+bhp, 8" slicks?

And comparing it to other rwd cars isnt necessarily fair, they often have larger diameter clutches.

[stan]

Then again, i am talking about a class-winning car here, maybe not a fair comparison to yours...

There are quite a few (Will Onions and Guy Woodcock in Escort F2 Maxis for example) and loads of S1600 200 hp plus cars..... all 200mm clutches so smaller than Megan 215mm.

Regards class winning car then 2nd in class is not far off....but hey not bad when competing in a far lower spec car...

I agree Spongenob but its so much fun when the car that beats you by a couple of seconds cost 40k.... :wink:

Now if i spent £xxk on 230hp / Sadev and the likes and didnt win the class then i would be in tears......

I doubt that if its the sprint car...dont know how you can compare.

[stan]

Dont see how whether its a 3min sprint or a 30min outing alters the ammount of driver "effort"?

Just cos its a sprint, doesnt mean he's going to try less hard?

To quantify that the sprint cars do far less milage than rally cars and the surface is usually ultra smooth, plus how hard you drive the car is not proportional to how quick the car is... :wink:

You stated the car you reference is driven harder than the the pink rally car. Based on what ? your guess...

5 Events of 3 min sprints (Say 5 runs and event) and needs new clutch...... Gutted :?

[stan]

dont get on the deffensive, i didnt mean to upset you, im just saying because he wins classes he's likely a better/harder driver...

I have not seen this but was suitible impressed with your driving on the videos on cliosport (http://www.thecourier.co.uk/output/2005/08/03/images/SMASH.jpeg)

You are predicting house prices going up.

I am predicting hyperinflation, state failure and lots of looting, printing and shooting.

Lets see who turns out to be right.

[Dave Peach]

Im sure i saw steve competing (http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/sm/smoby-winnie-the-pooh-baby-car.jpg) once.

Might have been Yozza though.
