Wondered if they did anything else too them too, apart from skimming the face...

is it just me or are the clutches on this page

similar to these ,




just an observation ????

I don't see any 400 lb/ft prices there? But that looks identical to the clutch I fitted in my car, which oddly enough came from JBS as well.

It worked out roughly £500 clutch, £100 refacing DMF. And it IS one hell of a clutch too.

gotta buy em from somewhere & JBS ain't a registered charity

 

[stoneyfordNI]

wasnt implying anything mark , just making an observation

Mmmm seems a bit sus to me, it doesn't, not that i can see anyway which manufacture of clutch it uses or if they actually make there own. I would advise against it and to go with something that other people have used or recomended.

Ian e-mailed the guy for prices.

These are similar, if not the same as JBS ones. I'm not jumping to conclusions here. I stumbled across the site whilst looking on a search engine, then notified Ian @ work today. It seems they make their own clutches, so they're not a big manufacturer like Sachs for example.

Flywheel has to be in as new condition & there is a 500 mile min bedding in period.

Man, that was tough for me to adhere to...

really? i had 2 fitted to my car and both failed! jbs agreed and kindly gave me my money back spoke to the guy who makes the clutches and he said "i can't guarantee the clutch if i was gonna drive the car hard " it's a performance clutch ffs what an idiot! thank god jbs were good enough to give me a refund

Well, I'm not running the bhp you have in your sig (I wish ) but close to the torque. Its only 6 months though, so you never know. However its not batted an eyelid since fitting. I got it BECAUSE I want to drive it hard when I get the opportunity. Pretty sure I would have munched at least one standard Fabia vRS clutch by now, if I'd not gone for this one from JBS.

the kit i had was supposed to handle 500ftlbs torque

All I really know is that JBS' tuned up Octy vRS had it as well, and it performed well. (or haven't been told if it ate the clutch with 450bhp odd)

I did run mine in very carefully - Only because the first 3 weeks driving after my conversion was with no boost whatsoever, due to having the wrong thrust sensor It was like a forced run in period for the clutch - 60bhp & 80 lb/ft.

Im looking a clutch for my MK4 Ibiza 130pd. Really dont have a baldy of whats out there. Advice and prices would be excellent!!

Im also looking for a turbo as im aiming for 200bhp (have all the other bits, FMIC, exhaust, filter, cupra intake)

Cheers

Andy - probably worth looking into the sachs system. Quite good value and copes with 200bhp OK. Pretty sure though it's not got the torque tolerance of 400 lb/ft like my Kevlar clutch - Think its around 320 lb/ft (ish) and it would be safe to go over that a bit (200 horses should be around 330/340 lb/ft)
