Doing the burnout in 2nd will put more stress on the clutch, wouldnt recommend it with a stock clutch. That mini is using a clutchmasters fx600 which is extremely agressive and not really for road use.
Im getting the sachs vwr clutch done on mine when i have some free time. Spoke to mated30 as he has one, and its suitable for burnouts, track etc :jumpmove:.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

the thing is it'll just be busier and busier from now on in.

the RWYB days will also include bikes.  and many more marques, not just VAG.

if the weather is good, it'll be PACKED.

best place to have a go next, will probably be GTI International!

although the surface is not the best, it'll do to give you a taste for 1/4 mile action!

get in early at inters and you can get 2 or 3 runs before it busies up in the afternoon.
