Performance Clutch Options 120-130

I like this idea!

Few years back, we got a decent snow storm. I had my 145 chained up, and with it's heavily modded motor, limited slip, new snow tires... it'd go just about anywhere.

But coming home that night, I got hopelessly stuck in my driveway in about 15" of snow. Suffice to say, I was not in a good mood, and I pretty much dropped the clutch at redline.. no wheels spin. Just clutch burn. Brand new, stock Sachs clutch, complete kit.

Turned out, I'd knocked the tire bead off the rim, hence one rear tire flat, hidden under snow. That was the problem in the first place.

Admittedly, not a normal situation, but the clutch most definitely was not up to the torque that the engine was able to put to it.
