40% more torque? Pretty good for the price!
Paddle I had on my Bluebird was nearly £900 new, Although that came with an ultra lightweight flywheel too.

I'm struggling to read this through the tears of laughter....did you have a paddle clutch on a £900 Nissan Bluebird or did you spend £900 on a paddle clutch and lightened flywheel for a Nissan Bluebird ? Either way it has to be a funniest P1$$ take I have heard in ages.

Ribs are hurting now....

I would be cautious about spending £440 with an unknown (to me) clutch company. My CG clutch is a 5 puck jobby and is a worthwhile investment if you know a stock one is not going to cope. I suspect I rushed in really as stock clutches fitted/adjusted properly cope with more torque than I'm likely to making. However the existing 70000 mile stock clutch started slipping immeadiately I fitted the 19t etc so I assumed a paddle clutch was the only way to go. I was advised by people who have been doing this a lot longer than me to fit a stock S60R clutch but I decided to go belt and braces - I had also driven Tims car with a CG paddle and SMF and it was a pussycat. Mine catches me out if I forget to be gentle when reversing uphill for instance but otherwise it's fine for daily drive and stop start. This is definitely a try before you before sort of modification though as it is nothing like a soggy stock clutch. CG are also cheaper and a known supplier to our little community - a few of us run them, some with upwards of 600-700NM bashing away for 10's of thousands of miles/track use.

Lol, That's the response I got from most people. Made it all the more funny for me when they got left behind. ;)
