Hi everybody,

New member from Sweden here. My name is Robert and I own a 2009 Impreza diesel.

I've had a remap done and almost all bushings replaced with strongflex 90sha. Sti springs, new struts and some other things like aluminum/polyurethane transmission, pitch stop and engine mounts.

There will soon be a new intake piping with a k&n filter and a oil catch can and also a new 3" exhaust. I'll try to relocate the turbo just a bit since there's not much room for a improved exhaust manifold but I'll see what I can do.

A magnaflow 200cpsi catalyst will be fitted as well since the dpf is deleted along with the egr function.

A water/methanol kit will be fitted just after the intercooler and hopefully I'll enjoy my car even more.

Now... After all these tuning mods the clutch will take a beating. The dmf is probably also giving up since there's a lot of judder going on when the car is cold.

I've searched the internet trying to find a aftermarket solution and there is a few. Sachs makes a great reinforced oem clutch but it is not engineered to be used along with a smf and a dmf will probably not hold up for long.

Next in line is a company in Leeds by the name of CG Motorsport but I'm having trouble getting in touch with them via email. They did respond to my first email but when I continued asking questions I just recieved a "thanks for your email" and that's it...

They seem to have what I'm looking for but I don't know anything about them.

This kinda brings me to this forum...

Does anyone here have any experience with CG Motorsport/Clutch Specialists?

Thanks alot in advance for any help or info about a new clutch kit!

B.R. Robert

Stants,

That would be so great if you could do that.

I found their dual friction clutch and or the 666 kit to be interesting. They have a stage 3 kit as well but that would not work for daily driving I think...

There's no hurry really so no need for stress at all.

I'll list the components of interest and then we'll see what they have to say about them.

Thanks again for your help!

Hi again,

The kits that are of interest is the following:

1. Dual friction clutch and smf

Product Code:  640-0664

2. 666 series clutch kit with smf Product Code:  666-0664

I'd like sprung plates to stop as much of those vibrations as possible from ruining my transmission.

The dual friction kit should hold up for a torque increase of 40% and the 666 kit 80%. At least that is what their website states.

The dual friction kit sounds like the best kit since I'll land somwhere around 30% increase from stock performance. The 666 kit feels way over the top but I've been wrong before.

They do have a stage 3 kit as well but that would be a foot killer since my car is used for daily driving.

Thanks again for helping out!

Cheers, Robert

Family first!

No stress for me. My clutch is not slipping yet so there's no need for hurry at all.

Take care of your daughter!

Hey stants,

Behold.... I got an email from Linda @ cg motorsport in Leeds. 😀👍

My emails had found their way into the junk bin.

As it looks right now it's going to be the dual friction kit with a slightly lightened smf (approximately 1kg less than oem dmf).

Just had to ask a couple of extra questions to make sure I get the exact kit that I want and need and that it holds up for some more power when the water/meth kit is installed. ☺

Thanks a bunch for helping me out!

Hope your daughter gets better soon!

Haha yeah the worst that can happen!

You offered to help and that means a lot to me so thanks! No need to be sorry for not being able.

I'll write some as soon as I have something good to write. I've been thinking of a project thread but I've allready started modify and I didn't take more than a few pics so that would probably kind of boring.... We'll see.
