ye i think i will go for a HE221W if thats been tried and tested, dont suppose you know what cam hes got?

im lookin for a good sports clutch but cant find anything, a few years back sumone on here showed me a website in the states that sold every clutch you can think of, and colour coded them for differnt uses, think it was green yellow and red from stock to race use, does anyone know about this? i realy need to find it again if anyone knows?

will i be ok to use red clutches for daily use or will they run out quickly?

i was gona use a x2 preasure plate and 6 Button Quick Lock (solid hub) clutch

will that be ok, im guessing will be quite jerky to drive, clutch will be either on or off, but 5 pot has so much torque at idle that you cant stall it so i cant see this being a problem, just wana know if it will last, dont wana be changing it every 6 months, or should i go with a yellow clutch but keep with the red x2 preasure plate?  ???

George told me they don't mix the colors of the parts. I am sure they do. I went with the 6 puck sprung hub in RED with the RED pressure plate... I don't have it on the car yet. 53 Willys and zukgod both have clutchnet RED sprung setups and said they worked fine for them.

I have a solid, the reseller here said I'll be ok with a solid and I think that too. They have both standard clutches without the dampeners and racing discs with them, and vice verse. But if you're going high performance it might be too aggressive (specially with the spring plate) without the low bottom torque.
Give them a call and ask. I think they will guide you.

Dunno exact specs, ~260 degrees. Custom grinded at R-Koneistus. GT32 would be other nice turbo. Spools pretty nice even with 1,9.

Basically George said that the sprung hub would absorb a little more drivetrain shock for daily driving and make it all last longer. The solid hub he said was more for racing and is a complete on off switch, which he said was best for drag racing lauches. I plan on using mine daily so I went with the sprung hub.

Interesting. On their web site they actually have discs without springs rated as green ("street upgrade") which is supposed to be for cars with 10-15 % increase. It's a clutch like that I have.
Anyway, the dampened clutch will for sure be smoother. Wise to choose it.
