    clutch for b230 with 250 maybe 300 bhp?

    what clutches are available, will need to handle 250bhp and some regular drift abuse.
    i read somewhere about using a diesel clutch....will this actualy hold up at that power? cheers

    It does hold up but drifting does kill any clutch so life will not be amazingly long

    The diesel clutch is good to a point but with the abuse drifting will give the clutch then I would fit ttv flywheel and 850r clutch .

    You gotta pay to play! 240mm is the way forward apparently, but I have a dogdish in my garage. Cheapest place for a LUK 850r clutch kit is Amazon!
