great point........ I think we should get into making some badges as most of our parts are subdued in looks and this will make it more understanding to the people as these cars go blasting by

the tranny is pretty much bullet proof as long as you are a competent driver. Through my years working with Hubie and Jan, we have put over 500 hp through the tranny. The Clutch ussually just needs something that can with stand what you are putting to it. I have the Exedy Hyper Sport, but you can use the Spec stuff too. I think Kal bone has the spec stage 2... you'd be suprised how much the stock will with stand

Thanks Tuls, didn't realize the stock tranny itself was strong enough to hold up to that kind of torque.

Now that I know I don't need a new one, just a top notch clutch assemble, I only need to win 1 lottery!!!

Thank god someone finally brought the awesome Disco Potato to the MINI world. Nissan guys have been using these to make 350 HP SR20 motors for years.

This could be what makes me decide to go full turbo. Super fast spooling, fat torque and usable power delivery.
