TRANSFORMING PERFORMANCE

Clutch Industries has partnered with Andrew Richards on his evolving ‘Project Yuki’

For automotive technicians and performance enthusiasts alike, the pursuit of power often reveals the weak links in factory components.
Andrew Richards, a dedicated car enthusiast, knows this firsthand: his highly modified Toyota GR Yaris, dubbed ‘Project Yuki,’ isn’t just a daily driver – it is also a track weapon.
As Andrew delved deeper into enhancing Project Yuki, he reports that he uncovered weaknesses in the factory setup, particularly after boosting the engine to churn out an impressive 260 kW at all four wheels.
Wider, stickier tyres amplified grip, demanding a clutch that could seamlessly transfer power without compromise – the catalyst for change came when a friend inadvertently stress-tested the OEM clutch with a 9000 RPM launch.
Faced with the imminent risk of failure, Andrew sought an upgrade tailored for track dominance yet refined for everyday usability.
He says traditional options offered the durability he needed but often sacrificed smoothness, taxing his driving experience in urban traffic.
This is where UniClutch Track entered the picture, with Clutch Industries describing it as “a revelation in clutch technology.”

Andrew reports he discovered this modular clutch marvel through meticulous online research.
Promising OEM-like drivability combined with track-ready robustness, he says UniClutch Track stood out, and its unique design not only matched the factory clutch feel but also upheld the durability demanded by Andrew’s spirited driving style.
The results were undeniable, explains Clutch Industries. Armed with UniClutch Track, Andrew shattered lap records across Australia’s most challenging circuits, culminating in a triumphant outing at Bathurst.
Clutch Industries says his endorsement isn’t just about performance; it is a testament to innovation meeting practicality in automotive engineering.
