Clutch replacement
I'm curious to know what sort of clutch some of you guys are running on your car atm...
I'm driving mine on borrowed time at the moment so I need a clutch replacement REAL SOON.
Any recommendations as to what brand to go for / how much to pay / where to get it done in Melbourne??
Thanks for your help!

RPW sells a lot of the Semi Ceramic paddle clutch disc packages which are great.
Retains all the driveability of standard but 50% stronger and will take a beating without failure.
They are valued at $450.00 on average and last just as long as an origonal under normal driving but take more of a beating. They are not heavier on the pedal so no extra effort involved.

WE certainly have along with some brakes, tensioners, heater hoses amongst other things.
But to do a clutch yes you need to remove the gearbox . Normally takes around 3 hours to replace plus the gearbox oil and teh clutch. Average price including clutch etc is around $650 - $700.00 with our Semi ceramic paddle clutch disc

clutch
the semi ceramic clutch is a little bit harder on the pedal but it is definately grippier (is that a word??) It takes a couple of days to get used to but would definately be worth it if you drive hard, and pop the clutch a fair bit ...

i've got a set of Exedy heavy duty metal clutch kit on order waiting for installation later this week ($900 fitted).
apparently they have a 35% greater clamping force than the Ralliart upgrade (although i never heard of a Ralliart clutch upgrade for the FTO) but it still retains the std driveability and feel.
Will let y'all know how it goes when it's done.
