Finally it's going again!

[Daz Clio Cup]

After trashing the clutch at the Pod, the cup is finally back on the road.
But now sporting a helix paddle clutch, a 182 manifold, and a moddified link pipe.

took it out for a run seems quieter and paddle is really easy to use.

now all i have to do is save more money to take it back to GDI to get it tuned again.

your edit wasn't quite quick enough, saw what you wrote - lol

yes it's moddified, had 233 bhp 177 ftlbs before the 182 manifold.

£350 for the clutch kit and about 10 hours labour (DIY)

no it won't.
it's a fable about the gearbox being weak
the gearbox can take a 172 turbo if your careful.
the standard engine puts out somewhere around 140-150 ftlbs torque, i've only got 177 and that will never go beond 185, regardless what further mods are done

we use to go through a box every 12months, it was "normal", but then it was a dedicated track car

which isn't very normal tbh. a pure track car should have a dog box or similar.
