Sounds like an E46 M3 from a distance (vid) Mk1 172!!

172 bumper
172 wings
172 (or replica) sideskirts
172 front arch liners

high performance clutches like Tom's more often than not just 'go' due to the compound they are made of. Like Martin said, put in in 3rd of 4th at low revs and floor it.
i have a 'grp n' clutch on my 172 from a previous owner and it seems fine. although it's a juddery b*stard in town traffic...
yup. aquaplaning.
caused when there is too much water for the tyre to disperse in a short time. the tyre then lifts off the ground and you are basically driving on a film of water, hence the wheelspin.
check your tread, also don't drive like a loon. ;)
enjoy it.
as said above though. be reet careful.
