Anyone got any ideas on this? Need to replace my clutch and wanted to uprate at same time. Heard that old 911 turbo (930) plate will work aswell.

Deutsch Nine have an uprated clutch on offer as well.

The Helix unit looks like a standard replacement? I don't really see much in its description to suggest its tougher than standard.

However that four puck clutch will be a whore in traffic and when pulling onto roundabouts! My Cerbera used to either stall or spin the wheels into each roundabout once it was hot and if you got stuck in stop start traffic you could actually be seen crying in the car with sweat pouring off your forehead, leg shaking and muscles burning with agony. I remember the man at the Tire place who was built like a horse got in an said "Jesus! How the hell do you use this clutch" shortly before stalling the car 6 times in the 5 meters to the ramp.

Hahah! I bet that was fun to watch . Surely if you want an uprated clutch though your stuck with making it a bit less driveable. Unless you increase the spring pressure and add some kind of servo to the clutch...

That's exactly what Jon M did with my 3.2. He used a stronger clamping spring and then a stronger counter spring on the pedal so it wasn't much harder to operate than a standard clutch. He also used the cup pressure plate. The end result felt very good.

Where is the best place to buy a standard clutch? I was getting quoted about £500 inclusive of vat for a standard sachs kit.

Dare I suggest Euro car parts are quite good. They offer some terrible quality replacement parts but you can usually get the genuine bits for good money too and I've always found them very helpful to deal with (london branch)
