Hi

I need to buy a new clutch, could you good people give me your advice on whats the best to get for normal road use and the odd crazy driving day ?

Id like to get a light weight fly wheel aswell after it was recommended. which one is the best for me?

Ive seen a standard clutch kit on Fensport.... If i buy this standard clutch kit and a light weight flywheel is this all i need to get the job done? or do i need a special clutch kit for a light weight fly wheel?

As you can prob tell i have no clue here, so the more info the better

It would be great to hear from anyone living in Ireland and your advice on where to buy?, i see there's a few of you on here

All advice welcome, Cheers

I used to run a TRD ligtht weight flywheel with a standard clutch and it worked fine ( I have the old flywheel for sale if your interested )

Now I'm running a light weight Toda flywheel and Helix cermertalic clutch,
The IS200 and RS200 use the same clutch just the flywheels are different, so you may want to look at a road clutch as this will be a bit nice to drive with ( not as heavy to drive )
it really just depends on how much power your gonna put throught the transmission and how much you wanna spend

Thanks for the reply mate

I dont want to go crazy with the spend although its not an issue... I do like to put the foot down quite a lot on private roads

Can you explain exactly what you mean "how much power your gonna put through the transmission"? I've been driving for 15 years and have only just started to take a real interest in how things actually work and i can see now how addictive it can be

So is it best to order a IS200 clutch kit from Toyota? or will they totally fleece me ? and buy a light fly wheel from? Where did you get your Toda? and do you literally just need the wheel or do you also need special covers and bolts etc?

I'm worried about a few things... 1st that i'm going to get robbed when i could have got the same parts elsewhere for much cheaper and 2nd that because of my lack of knowledge i'm not going to get all the parts i need for the job

Cheers for the help, much appreciated

btw thanks for the offer, but i think i'd prefer to buy everything new

when your looking to fit an uprated clutch in your car you will need to find out how much torque and power the clutch will take and compair this with and how much power you intend to run, this will mainly be for boosted cars tho

as for the flywheel you will not need any new parts, you will be able to remove the old flywheel push the bearing out of the centre and fit it in the new flywheel (the bearing may need replacing just depends what it's like) then you can bolt it back in and fix the clutch back in place.

as for what clutch you fit thats up to you. I don't know how much a clutch kit would be from toyota but I'm sure it'll be worth compairing to an uprated kit just in cost alone

I got my clutch and flywheel from TDI, but there is others you can use like ProLex or fensport off the topp of my head

maybe Noel will be able to help you out as he's in Ireland so I'm sure he may know some more local places to get parts

Ok im gonna contact Toyota just out of curiosity...

At the moment i will just be running stock, so i guess a standard clutch with a light weight fly wheel will do the job?

What site is that then TDI?

Cheers mate

Helix organic is a good compramise

How much does one of those cost Dave?
