What clutch and flywheel should I get with many mods?
Hi there, im moding my car with all possible mods (alta catback,RMW header,JCW 380cc,intake,Pulley,RMW camshaft,colder plugs,...
what clutch and flywheel should i get for better drive, torque and power? i heard to get the FX200 clutch masters and the aluminium flywheel with it, what do you think? i drive my car fast but not for race, only street fast.
and what about the quaife differential¿

MINI for Street Fast and Furious is still not that fast in relation to to money you sink in to it, as most Street Fast applications are only straight line, Street Light Jockey type stuff. Don't get me wrong it'll smoke most stock rice ridaz ie: Hondas (-SU2000) Nissans (-GTR, 350/370s) Toyotas (-Supras), but its just automatically at a dissadvantage compared to cars above and Evos, STis and modded Mustang GT. On the other hand at the track and I mean track not a strip of tarmac, the MINIs handling can be advantagous, with some mods like the ones you mentioned can over take some of the cars above, with High Performance Driver Education you can extend that lead. Also, guess street fast may include Canyon/Mountain runs, where the MINI will also shine, you can ask the STi, Evos, and Modded Vtechs I've caught up and passed albeit more driver skill or may I say Lack of driver skill on their part.
But that said I'd suggest for your application go straight for Heads, Cams and headers plus the bolt-ons you need to make them work, cuase you'll need torque, the last is laying it down via Quiafe LSD and some wide sticky front tires.
