Looking to get a lightfly wheel for my x16xe any recommendations
Tried helix autosport they no longer make the ally ones. Ttc racing will have some steel ones in a week or so. Not rich enough for SBD. Any one else?
Also fast road clutches are they any different to standard and are paddle clutches a no go if still using on the road?

Look for a 8v flat type flywheel and black diamond clutch

Yes definitely going for flat type as it's slightly cheaper too
Did think about black diamond as they are also cheaper but can help they are just standard clutches with a bit of fancy paint

The corsa 1.2 16v flywheel is the same as 8v one apparently.

Iv just bought a paddle clutch from CG MOTORSPORT in Leeds, very very helpful I needed it next day for a track day and they went out there way to sort it for me, they build it to what ever specs you need 4 5 6 paddle etc etc I got a 5 paddle with uprated pressure plate and release bearing to suit for just over £300 posted that's for a c20let not had it slip yet and it's not brutal to drive either really good kit

I was told the number of faces on the paddle clutch is what effects how brutal it is for road use and obviously the pressure plate to suit that friction setup will be stronger dependant on what set up you go for I told "mick" what I use the car for he advised for a 5 paddle as I still use it on the road a 4 would be a bit harsh

wouldnt waste my money on anything from CG again... luckily i didnt have to spend a penny when they re-padded it last time, and as compensation skimmed my ttv flywheel....
they dont press the pads down properly, a freshly padded clutch lasted about 20 runs up pod and was then no use and damaged the fly

I think anywhere has good and bad reviews, my review is that there went out of there way to help me and the product (so far) has been fine and was good value for money and they build them mate there not just bought in.
Sounds like your just shit at changing gear jed
