How long (in mileage) does the standard unit last, and how much power will it take before it'll start to go ?
I'm running with 272bhp at the mo, due to fit a VF28 turbo soon.
Cheers

my MY96 clutch has just started to slip at 70k miles. Has been running a totally standard engine from new. I've been told that this is typical for the car.

"now i have got a car that produces 350-360bhp, only to realise that there is no chance in hell the gearbox and clutch will last, so you blow another 4000 grand on a dog gear box and a paddle clutch, ooops"
Depends on how much more you want ...

My clutch started to slip badly in 4th when the VF24 was turned up to 1,3 bar...so I had a ceramic 4-paddle clutch fitted.
Strangely enough the tranny is still alive and kicking!??!
