Iam putting m52 engine and box in my e30 and using the m20 flywheel and starter and have a m20 325i clutch but is it the best one for track abuse?

Got them mate
starting to put it all together now so while its in bits I might as well do it while its all apart.
Sold my E46 and got a 206 1.6 as daily now so missing the power so its really motivated me into sorting it.

good luck mate make sure you use m20 flywheel bolts and the washer when you put the flywheel on, im building a 3.0 stroker collecting the m54 block tomorrow cant wait to get started

I don't suppose you would measure how thick the washer is while you have it of the clutch? I have a autobox on thats much to thick and needs machining down.
