Have to replace the clutch on the starlet yet again and am looking to go uprated. Don't want to spend moonbeams since I'm selling the car once its wof'd.
Been told about PHC Valeo clutches. Anyone used these or know much about them?
PHC Valeo clutches any good? *sorted*

They're fine, French manufacturer IIRC, they do a bit of OEM stuff. Dont know if they do much/what their performance ones are like but stock ones are sweet

Yep it's a frog brand. Makes a lot of OEM stuff for European manufacturers (bit like Nippon Denso is to Japanese cars). Nothing wrong with them.

Central Auto Parts in Palmy are doing me a deal. Put it this way it is under the $450.00 + gst I was quoted from Toyota for a genuine factory replacement clutch.

hope thats not the same valeo clutch that repco sells. just killed one of those and it could have been a manufacturing fault as I have no other way of seeing how it could have happened
"You can't do it like that!." "Why not?"

Can't be any worse than the expensive OEM clutch that lasted less than 500km's before the springs shat themselves.
No idea if it's the same as ripco, as I don't buy from ripco.
Won't be driving the car much once its done, just far enough to get a wof and back home again

Likely will be, heaps of people sell Valeo, just in their own packaging
