I have been looking at clutch arms like this, what are the thoughts pub ponts or not.

http://www.med-engineering.co.uk/catalogue...d-hd-clutch-arm

http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?ty=...id=42581&title=

and the forceracing Titanium Clutch Arm kit

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

The MED and Minispares items are the same I believe. Force on will prob be lighter *smiley*

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I brought a MED one about 2 years ago as i bent 2 std one's (don't ask) and got pissed off so i bought one, seems fine. But if your one is not bent i wouldn't bother.

been looking at the same tonight. I'm not bending them or snapping as I only use standard clutch spring, but I have just found out that the old heavy duty arm has worn a flat on the ball.. must have done less that 5k that was with plenty of copper grease?? I was cheap and have just ordered another. will probably regret it in 5k...

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

i went to one a year or so ago as i kept snapping the balls of the end of the standard one. Worth evey peny as since fitting this one i have not had one issue with the clutch arm.
Mine is a med kit and when i got it both places were out of stock and strangly enough both called me the same day to say they had some so im pritty sure they are the same. :)

I got the Med arm after the Northampton rollers event, bent three or four standard arms with my double grey. However it is a blatant rip off of Carls but my budget at the time did not run to one!

I was thinking that the force racing looks the nuts.

The MED and Minispares one is the same thing. I went for the MED arm after having shit loads of problems because of the normal clutch arms wearing too quick, bought one of the MED arms and it sorted all the probs.

Anyone had an issue using the med arm and the rod for the slave cylinder being too long?

I've had exactly the opposite, ended up having to get a longer push rod.

How long is your push rod?

These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

not had any problems with my grey and std arm i dono how much more pressure the double grey is over single?
altho a bent/cracked crank caused 2 throw out bearing to chew up and wreck the clutch cover thrust bit twice
now i know what that lack of and pulsing clutch and offset ware mark is on the pressure plate *frown*
