Car is off the road for winter now so going to do a clutch change as going s/c, my question is what clutch kit are people using ? And flywheel which make ? Lighter the better ? Was looking at competition clutch kits

What bhp are you aiming for ? In most cases the oem clutch will be more than sufficient

Shooting for 400 mark so little step up from standard and I want it to be able to handle some abuse

I had a competition clutch stage 2 and it handled my power when it was Supercharged, my 4500 mile oem clutch didnt.Use the stock flywheel if poss and just have it skimmed if its a bit messy.

Cheers mr-pitts just about to order now quick question why keep standard flywheel ? Thought the lighter the better one of my best mods on scoob

Oem disc, act pressure plate, oem release bearing. Feels like stock and will handle the power your looking at.

Someone on here fitted the completion clutch recently and I'm sure the release bearing they supply failed big time. Do a search, there's all the info you need.

Yeah seen that thread but had cc clutches in my last 2 cars and worked fine think all clutch companies have horror stories had a spec clutch self destruct on me after 8 days

My CC Felt like a stock clutch, I just run the oem flywheel because it was in good condition, I dont know enough about lightened flywheels to make a comment.

My CC twin plate came with its own flywheel.

Fedenza do a light weight fly wheel but it's alright quite light, just pair a good clutch with it in my opinion or go aftermarket clutch and above flywheel.

I had an ultra light weight flywheel on my mini. Yes it's a different car but same principle.
Basically if your going for a light weight racer then do as your save engine weight.i lighten all engine parts plus the car so it was worth it. I know on the mini as it span up it save me about 88lbs as they calculate it etc. It was very revy and good for that engine.
But downsides was the material was weak and could bow.
The s2000 is very revy engine anyway and ur notice a slight gain but it's not really worth it unless your changing the entire parts to to the gearing, and lighten loads of parts, then it adds to the acceleration. . plus if your supercharging I'd stick to oem flywheel as its heavier and it probably withstand the added bhp.
