Recommended clutch for 172 track car?

[fixedgear]

Hi everyone

I'm currently having my 172 Cup track car recommissioned.

The engine is out, it's having a new belt set, manifold and while it's out I would like to install a gripper diff and clutch.

What is the consensus on clutches for these cars?

I'm out of touch and could use some advice,

Many thanks

What clutch has it got in it and how well has it lasted so far? The bog standard LUK has lasted well in mine - I would probably just fit another?

If you're not running boost I can't see the point in running anything other than the standard clutch, maybe if you fit an aftermarket flywheel that requires it?

The standard one is a tough unit. Just swapped mine out at 91k because the release bearing had gone, it still had quite a lot of life left in it. That's with track use as well 😊
