I am fitting a m20 fly wheel on my s50 b32 where is the best place to get a clutch to take the extra grunt ,will be fitting a zf 5 speed out of a 525i sport , will a need to play around with release bearings to get it to work .
I may be doing some other mods to the s50 later so if i can find a clutch that was a little room for more power all the better .
The car will be used for mostly road use and the odd track day .
If any of ye m20 turbo lads can advise me it would be much apperciated .

If you just buy a light flywheel from TTV you can use the stock clutch and release bearing.
£220-230ish for the flywheel.

you lost me there. You asked where to get a clutch, so I assumed you haven't got one. To keep things simple I suggested to use a flywheel which allows you to use a stock clutch with stock release bearing. What have I missed?

the S50 came with no flywheel and no clutch , so I was hoping to use a my M20 flywheel and uprated clutch to suit .
I will buy a new soild flywheel and clutch ( I dont like dual mass flywheels ) if I have to
