Default Exedy Hyper Single experiences??

Anyone using a exedy Hyper Single on a 5 speed?

Just wanting to know how easy it is to live with on a day to day basis... and whether it is that much more abrupt on the transmission

Not after the go a organic as it will break your box speech from people who havent had personal experience before

what kind of power are you looking at?
Would recommend a sports tuff clutch instead. Its cheaper and can hand a fair bit of power

I've got an Exedy Sports Tuff.

Feels the same as stock, launches well and doesn't slip even with over 350 at the hubs.

Didn't cost much either.. I bought it off eBay from a Victorian brake & clutch shop (can't remember the name now) brand new, for about $450 landed.

I'm running it with a Fidanza aluminimum flywheel which makes an awesome difference to throttle response, but its noisy on decel.

I've got an Exedy Heavy Duty clutch fitted (also known as an Ultra Fibre single in Japan).

Paid about $770 plus fitting plus lightweight chrome-molly flywheel.

Very strong clutch and can take a load but also requires some 'leg strength' around town (i.e. a bit stiffer than a organic HD upgrade).

I've also added a braided clutch line for what its worth.

Cheers

Have been through about 3 sports tuffs over the years... great daily driving, and great out on the track with modest amounts of horsepower (up to 350 easy as Joe said- but all depends how you drive it)...

As for the organic argument- see your avataar, well I'm usually the guy standing outside your car behind the gate and I can honestly says I've seen a lot of launches in my time there and a lot of box breakages from noobs that run big expensive clutches (carbon wank, ceramic, twin plates etc) when they could have invested the money into a better box/ drivetrain! Something's gotta give, so may as well be the cheaper item that's designed for that sort of wear and tear...??

After 11 billionty launches on a MY05 5 speed of fail, without breaking a box / shaft / anything (well my exhaust came off the hangers more than once )... I wouldn't use anything other than an organic.

Clutch is a consumable, otherwise you make the next weakest thing in the driveline a consumable.

PS- forgot to say that 90% of the scarey launches I have observed came from Kato at the line...!!

Ubeleivable luck. Orgnaic FTW.

haha would have loved to have seen ya launch Kato. I have done a heap myself (150ishkw atw) with a stock clutch and if i do need to get another i would go the organic.
