I have the paddle version on mine, great on track, not so great on the road although it is useable. https://www.kamracing.co.uk/sachs-performance-clutch-kit-renault-clio-2rs-172-182.html Its heavy still but its more of an on/off engagement. Once its engaged and you are rolling its fine but...

Its because I thought it looked cool with the exhaust....but..the real reason is that when I put the exhaust on, i made a cut out for the tail pipe and did a really bad job, so I went total destruction and removed the full center!

Im in Retford, so not too far out at all. Its the firs time that I've been to it, one of my mates who has the Blue Saxo VTS has been before. I really enjoyed it, a good mix of cars, decent food and its for a good cause, so I'll be back for the next one. Yes..yes I did see that, not sure how...

@Short Norman I was there with the bastardised 172 cup!

B&G do an adjustable version so you can dial in exactly where you want it to sit, its not quick release though.

I've got a Piper twin silencer on mine with a de cat and its not loud but, mine is Turbo'd and people reckon that can reduce exhaust noise...cant say I noticed though.

I have the twin resonated Piper on mine, I still find it drones a bit but it seems quiet on idle from the back.

You'll be fine with the pro race pads, just find a way to keep them cool.

Mine has a thicker radiator and an oil cooler and managed fine on track. Only issue i has was the coolant bottle lid stilopped venting and the bottle let go but that was a simple enough fix!

I have the Sachs paddle clutch on my 172 turbo with a light flywheel. It's about as heavy as the stock clutch but it's very sharp, you need to keep the revs up. For track work it's great. For maneuvering, it's not the best as you need to keep the revs on more than normal. I'm also...

I find it easy enough to heel and toe. Once you are on the brakes the throttle is in a nice position for a quick blip. As long as your tyres are decent and warm I wouldnt expect you to be locking up on track.

There's a pipe fitting under the moulding where the coilpack is.

Clutch and light flywheel as its all exposed.

Actually, im using the MT90, not sure what difference that makes other than it seems to be more expensive.

This is what I have, hence a little gutted to flush it out but needs must.
