Hi all,
I have done a search but didnt realy find what i was after. I has a 2.5 M20 lump in my e30. The car is used for driftng and the clutch that is in it is starting to slip.
I dont want to spend the earth, but what is a decent clutch that will take the abuse? paddle clutch preffered. the engine is relativly stock. (filter, exhaust, cam, P/P)
Any help appreicated.. any links to clutch's for sale even more apprecaited!

Even a new stock clutch should be fine, they are over spec as standard and should take hundreds of miles of abuse.
If there slipping then an updated pressure plate can hold a turbo m20 just fine so a stock one won't even trouble it.
If they are wearing out due to being used/slipped to much then a paddle clutch won't help, most are not designed to be slipped in use and will wear fast if slipped.

618 pressure plate from Sachs and a stock disc will be the BEST option for non torque M20´s.

Yes, that should have been upgraded (sachs 618 as mentioned by Gunni).

How much power/torque can these 618's handle?

From past discussions 350hp has been bandied about, now assuming that's turbo then 350lb/ft possibility.
certainly quite a bit more than stock which is fine for ~250.
