Best Clutch??
I have a mk3.5 Fiesta si and its ready for a clutch so.... Im wanting to eventually run it on throttle bodies, but i dont really want to put a paddle clutch in it because you have to change my pedal to a manual adjust pedal. Would a organic clutch be able to take over 200bhp?? What would you advise thanks [/u]

Organic clutch would be my choice every time.
I run a Helix organic clutch in my 260bhp S2 and that's never slipped regardless of what I do to it.

Or there's the 4 paddle from techniclutch. That's pretty amazing. Can drop the clutch all day long and it doesn't slip and burn.
£285 though..

Yea but that requires a manual adjuster on the footpedal? Also doesn't it make every day driving a nightmare? Im wanting something what will take around 220bhp without having to change pedal really.

techniclutch's name is absolute mud in Ford circles, would avoid them like the plague. Just type it in a Search on PassionFord and see what comes up.

Where abouts in the country are you?
It really is as simple as picking up a copy of Fast/Performance Ford anc scouring the adverts.
I really can't recomend the AP Racing Organic clutch highly enough though.

The one on deemon tweeks isn't a kit its just the plate Even though its under clutch kit section. I cant get to my fast ford mags because im not at my house. Very stressfull.

That will be fine but do shop around to see if you can get the price lower. I know a few people running about 240bhp with this clutch without slippage. AP seem to really under rate their clutches capabilities (probably to limit warantee claims)
