   is it worth me getting an uprated clutch or should i just get a standard one?
   
   If uprated, which do you guys reccomend?

   iirc i think ryan is still running a standard clutch with with his engine. i have recently bought an uprated one. organic friction plate and stronger pressure plate purley because it was nos and cheaper than a standard replacement. £75 in total. an uprated clutch can be a bit tiring in traffic

   What are the characteristics of an uprated clutch?
   
   just on or off?

   some of the paddle clutches are just on/off but one with a organic plate can be just a bit snatcy untill it ran in even then it can remain that way. the uprated pressure plate though make the clutch feel heavier hence tiring in trafiic.
