Xtreme Clutch Introduces Latest Performance Upgrades for Volkswagen Golf GTI MK7
Xtreme Clutch is pleased to announce the introduction of the MK7 Golf GTI performance upgrade range.
The Volkswagen golf is quickly becoming one of the best tuning platforms on the market with a wide variety of aftermarket upgrades available for the vehicle to increase horsepower and torque. With this increase in power comes the need to increase the clamping force of the clutch whilst also reducing the mass of the kit for improved throttle response.
The Xtreme Clutch range has been designed as the ultimate solution for VW Golf’s with increased power and torque. The range incorporates a variety of multi-plate and single plate upgrades for various levels of engine enhancements and vehicle uses.
The single plate range is available with a 240mm friction disc, alloy cover and performance flywheel. These are ideal for cars with minor performance modifications such as aftermarket tuning, exhaust and some turbo upgrades. Available in organic, ceramic and carbon, these kits offer a solution for vehicles driven daily or dedicated track cars.
The multi-plate range has been based on the 230mm alloy cover range of modular clutch kits from Xtreme Clutch. These kits offer very high clamping force for high torque vehicles. Used in applications with very high-level engine enhancements such as significant turbo upgrades or high horsepower motorsport engines. These kits are available in organic, ceramic and carbon allowing for very high horsepower street and track vehicles.

2017 Bathurst 1000 Race Report
2017 Bathurst 1000 Race Report
The ACS #23 Altima of Michael Caruso and Dean Fiore was the first Nissan home in 6th place after an eventful race including dealing with a failed windscreen wiper on the rain soaked circuit. They were followed over the line by the #20 Altima of Todd Kelly and Jack Le Brocq who were able to recover from being a lap down to finish in 7th place.
Rick Kelly and David Wall in the #15 Altima showed excellent pace all day, however a brave move on lap 134 put Kelly into a sand trap. They were able to continue after the car was recovered, but their race had been compromised and they finished in 13th position.
The final Nissan of Simona De Silvestro and David Russell made a great comeback from 23rd on the grid to be the lead Nissan by mid-race. However, with just 7 laps to the end, De Silvestro made contact with the wall at the final turn, ending their race.
Michael Caruso #23
“From the start of the race we were forced to just run out the tanks. Early on we lost our wiper and that made things really challenging. Deano did a fantastic job in such difficult conditions. We were coming 15th and tried an alternative strategy, which we were looking really good with. We risked it and things were looking great. But a few safety cars put everyone back on the same strategy. So to finish 6th is really rewarding, having been around the Top 10 for most of the weekend. Stellar effort from the entire garage this weekend too. There were so many hands helping each other out. It was great to see.”
Simona De Silvestro #78
“It was good to show what we’re capable of. But I messed up and that’s pretty hard to get over. The guys worked hard all weekend and put me in that position. So it’s frustrating to end the weekend with a silly mistake. The team made some pretty good calls as well as some pretty hairy calls when it was wet. There haven’t been many races in the wet this year, but around this place it becomes even more of a handful. Things change so quickly out there and driving on slicks was a whole new challenge. I learned a lot and really enjoyed driving with David.”
Mazda MPS – Xtreme Clutch Upgrades
Xtreme Clutch Releases Upgrades to suit Mazda MPS Models
Xtreme Clutch, the performance and racing division of Australian Clutch Services, has recently released a new range of performance upgrades to suit the Mazda 3 MPS and Mazda 6 MPS. The new kits are specifically designed for modified versions of the vehicles and offer a lightweight alternative with significantly higher clamping force.
Designed to cover all different performance levels and applications, the performance range includes 12 options with different friction discs, plate configurations and pressure plate styles available. Included in the range is a variety of heavy duty factory upgrades that still retain the self-adjusting style pressure plate whilst increasing clamping force. These kits are available in both organic and ceramic friction materials and can be optioned to include an even lighter version of the chromoly flywheel.
“Our range of performance clutch upgrades for the Mazda 3 and 6 MPS offers a vast array of different configurations and options to ensure that there is a kit to suit a variety of different vehicle uses.” Says Xtreme Clutch Mechanical Engineer, Stewart Furze, “These vehicles are regularly being modified with turbo upgrades and ECU remaps, meaning they are often pushed to the limit of the factory clutch. These kits offer a quality solution for Mazda 3 and 6 MPS owners who are looking at upgrading their vehicle with a street or a track suitable clutch.”
Also included in the range is a 240mm alloy cover style performance upgrade in a single plate configuration. With organic, ceramic and carbon friction materials available, these kits are ideal for moderately modified vehicles being used on the street or track and they offer a considerable weight saving to help improve throttle response.
For extremely high powered street or track vehicles, Xtreme Clutch has also developed a range of 230mm twin plate upgrades in organic, ceramic and carbon. These kits are designed to handle up to 1830 Nm of torque whilst utilising an alloy style cover and chromoly flywheel.
“At Xtreme Clutch, we know that each vehicle owner has unique needs and each vehicle has unique characteristics depending on its usage. That’s particularly the case for modified vehicles,” explains Stewart Furze “Having multiple options for our performance kits not only allows vehicles owners to find their perfect match, it also allows our distributors to offer a tailor-fitted clutch solution to their customers.”
