Default What clutch? Series 2!

Hiya Guys,

My clutch has started to slip most of the time now when boosting

What would be the best clutch to go for? It won't be going over 200BHP but I hope to get it close to it in the future though so I will need one that can withstand that!

What paddle clutches are about on the market and how much am I looking to pay for fitting for a S2 with ABS?

best way i think mate! you should notice the difference when you get rid of all the remaining pipes and swap the master cylinder for an xr3i one

Standard Ford one should be fine for that power.

AP organic one is good. I'd recommend the mk6 pedal too (part no are on the AP site) Lets you adjust the biting point using an allen bolt on the pedal.

Would this go again after a few launches?

I hope to start going to the pod and stuff so I will be launching it quite a bit!
