    Unless the clutch is failing, there are far better places to spend money (like trackdays - hint)
    Im suprised that the car has lasted 80,000km with the standard clutch, seeing as it has the APR tune and it did have a downpipe

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it (I was about to make a comment about the occupation of the previous owner..).
    Just flog it 'til it breaks (like at a track day - hint) and THEN fix it

    I don't think any of my upgrades were to replace parts that were not working...

    If it improves the drive, why not.

    The way I see it, when doing up a car for performance, well you would change the clutch, im sure people dont build engines and put the standard clutch back in

    lol, mate with a R34 Skyline had turbo work done, etc ... had it back on the road and a week later destroyed the clutch ... never upgraded at the time. 3 months later he chewed the gearbox up as well. Given the way he drove, I was not surprised at all.

    I would be interested in one of these kits if you want to split postage?
