I would like to change my clutch come spring and wonder what everyone would recommend. Just shopping now out of interest.

Mine is a 2.8 double vanos.

Leaning towards a light single mass flywheel. I don't mind the noise and vibration.
Want it to hold more then stock. Would love to turbo the car in the future and if I do I don't want to change it again. That's only a remote possibility so it needs to be drivable and I don't want the engagement issues of a race puck disc.

I agree with the flywheel choice, just have no info about the actual clutch and pressure plate, haven't gotten that far yet. I suppose it depends on what you will do with the car.

I fitted a 9.0Kg flywheel to mine (down from 14.0Kg) to give it that move revvy feel. I also opted for a solid instead of duelmass. I do have a slight vibration but I'm also on race mounts, it don't really bother me and after an hour or two of driving you don't notice it, It's only noticeable when sat satartionary.

I ordered my Clutch and pressure plate together and then ordered my flywheel on its own. Was all very simple to fit. Plenty of photos along with do's and don'ts in my build thread called Vixen.

My English will never be the same after a decade in the Caribbean.
It's a simple punctuation issue, so don't be too concerned; easily rectified.:inpain:
