Out of curiosity how much would a stock clutch or an alternative clutch on a remapped Ed30 likely cost? Are there  many alternative options to a stock clutch which offer any benefits if you're running a map?

About £350 I think. An uprated clutch will cost double that.

Why bother swapping if you are going to sell the car? Just flash the ECU back to stock  :stupid:

I won't be buying an uprated clutch or likely a new clutch, that was another guy hijacking :p

I think i'll just return the car to stock with the stock ecu flash, like you said i reckon it'll be alright without the map
