Yin - Contact Mark (Farmer) at VWR - I'm sure you'll find that he knows about 'organic' clutches - Especially as I made a joke with him today about it being made from old vegetables.

Going to book my car in for the vwr clutch and shortshift kit to be fitted as soon as matt has had his done :jumpmove:. Im hoping the stock flywheel will be in good enough condition to go witht the clutch. Dont fancy spending another £500 on a new flywheel :sick:

the forge shortshift kit takes about 45mins to fit. it feels very wierd at first but once you get used to it is an awesome bit of kit!! i recon it shorterns the throw by about 50%  :smiley:

i managed to get the clutch done under warranty (Audi s3) as it is a fault that vag are aware of. The car is running an evoms and giac software with no problems.

Maybe try your luck and see if you can get it for free unless your wanting to go silly power? I would have thort that being fwd the ed30 will be slightyly easier on the clutch anyway so you should see at least 20k if your running around 300bhp.

i have done 30k and track days but if you are pushing over 320bhp its not made for it and will start slipping so its just better to be able to have the option to push it more with a better one  :smiley:
