2nd hand paddle or new organic?
My clutch has gone and I've seen a few 2nd hand paddle clutches for sale which are around the same price as a new replacement clutch
My car is running a VF30 remapped to around 330bhp so the pull is quite fierce.
I had a classic with a VF28 and when the clutch went, I replaced with a standard item which lasted 7 wks.
I have around £200 to spend.
Would a 2nd hand paddle clutch kit be ok providing theyres plenty left on it? I'm not bothered about judder.

You'll hate a ceramic paddle.

400 / 400 all day long, never a problem. It is the torque from the MD series turbos that just makes it marginal at 430 hp and 460 + torque.
It'll do you well, both of you.
