AP racing stage 2 clutch paddle plate with motorcraft cover and bearing £262.50 or stage 3 AP racing heavy duty cover 4 paddle centre plate and standard bearing £310.00 both are excellent clutches and available from woodford garage motorsport who are excellent (better than burton power anyway) and ideal for that sort of power the stage 3 i think requires a mk6 pedal conversion though, correct me if i am wrong peeps.

mate its not worth skimping on a clutch. i fitted a new ebc greenstuff one i had in the shed when i swapped my box and it slipped straight away, couldn't even pull to 30mph cleanly. i think it was faulty but you can imagine how pissed off i was at having to change it again the following weekend.

i bought a standard rs turbo clutch (£60) and fitted that cos i ran out of money having just bought a brand new box and its fine, but as you said it slips in 2nd and 3rd then you put your foot down. i'd spend more now and do it properly, its a pig of a job anyway!

ap racing clutch cp2000-8 will handle your sort of power figures. i run 190bhp and it feels strong all the way. as said it isnt worth skimping on a clutch. keep your eye out on ebay for one they always come up from time to time, and if you need the uprated clutch pedal and quadrant then send me a pm as i have one for sale.

i was hoping not to spend 300 quid right now as it is xmas. so may have to just fit the box for now and swap the clutch l8er when funds alow.

sean, is the pedal just a mk5 b one with mk3 fiesta quadrant??
