    In that case, at that level I would highly recommend the xtreme stage 1. Wont regret it.

    I know many recommend the exedy but I haven't tried it myself, but having experienced this one, I wont bother trying others.

    I’ve just had the TD stage 1 turbo fitted and it pulled the clutch out on the Dyno. Mike fitted the stage 1 Exedy and although I haven’t done many miles it has all the feel of an oem but with the reliability of being uprated 

    Glad your enjoying it.

    The problem i  have with the exedy is although several people have said it’s great & works fine the specs only rate it up to 160ft lb of torque at wheels & 190 @ flywheel where as im a 234ft lb already and would probably look at Td stage 2 in the not to distant future.

    So in reality while it will work for a while longevity will be of concern & having burnt out 2 exedy clutches ( in a previous car) with hard launches on the drag strip when they should have allegedly been up to the job i struggle to trust them.

    I'm using an xtreme stage 1 clutch from fensport.

    Very similar to oem but much better I feel. The clutch is very low which like. After depressing the clutch, hardly have to lift off because its moving. I live in a high traffic area as well and it's more than comfortable.

    Highly recommend. Might be worth checking the turbo kit you are going for and just making sure the xtreme 1 clutch torque limit is suitable for whatever kit you are going; presumably td

    Thanks 

    td turbo kit already fitted & running 289bhp

    which is making the stock clutch slip hence the need for an uprated one.

    Having to re visit this now as car is booked in for valve recall on 4th jan so need to get a clutch for them to fit before then.

    narrowed it down to 3 dependant on availability so just after some advice

    im looking at  exedy stage 1 which due to previous experiences with exedy im not overly keen on.

    helix uprated clutch which according to fensports website might not be in stock so will need to check monday.

    or competition clutch stage 3 but have no experience with them,

    I have the Exedy clutch in my my FI 86, feels very similar to OEM and stands up to sprinting and track work well. Had all sorts of clutches in previous monsters but they tend to not drive as well.

    Thanks that’s the info i was after.

    Do you launch the car quite hard in sprinting?

    By chance isn't torque more important then power in relation to aftermarket clutch choice?

    Also not sure it's worth so much to higher power, as clutch is not the only thing that might be inadequate, eg. also gearbox (IIRC increased chance to grenade 4th or 5th gear), axle (in addition to stronger forged internals for engine and such. Engine rebuild may cut at rather high budget). Imho if you find basic forced induction packages still lacking, given high cost of supporting mods for even more power .. much better choice seems getting different car.

    Your right torque is more important but I didn’t have estimated figures to hand.

    as far as the power is concerned it’s each to there own I’m afraid. Love the car but have always in all my previous cars craved more power. I was simply trying to point out my probable future plans to aid in advice required.

    I’ll worry about things breaking when & if they do & If I wanted a different car I’d of bought a different car.

    anyway back on topic any Fi cars with uprated clutch please feel free to chirp in with what your using and how you find it.

    The one thing that I disliked about the looks of the car was the rear spoiler.  So after pondering between the trd spoiler & a duck bill spoiler i finally settled on the Trd, contacted Chris @Tarmac to supply his copy Trd  spoiler & also decided on one of his hic roof spoilers. 

    The fitment of both spoilers is perfect (which makes a change from some of the dodgy kits I've fitted in the past) anyway I decided the roof spoiler would need to be colour coded as-well as the trd spoiler. So I've spent all day today painting & fitting them.

    There is a couple of bits that will need touching up at some point but for now I'm more than happy.

    Driftworks are bringing out new rear camber arms for the 86 which are a fraction of the price of a load of the other kits. Probably a bit heavier as I don't think they're made from Ali but definitely do the trick i'm sure.

    If there the same as there old ones they’ll be made from steel, which in itself isn’t a problem however having used  driftworks arms in several previous cars the last couple of times the fitment & quality haven’t been the best.
