   standard should suffice, valeo luk or sachs etc, same as the higher powered as std 16v uses so must be allright
   
   its torque that kills them, and abuse, don't abuse it it'll be fine.

    In that case std clutch will not last that long due to type of usage -fit upgraded paddle plate type unit
    the standing starts will not be good for std organic type unit

    the paddle clutches are either too harsh or way to exspensive :/

    the thread started by asking for a"road clutch" --but now you say its for sprinting+ hill climbing ,both of which require drag racing type starts -probably 3 practise + 3 timed runs per event --that's not road use fast or otherwise
    thats abusive use ,which is why you need a paddle type plate --
    a paddle plate with a sprung center is not that harsh --providing the flywheel does not have distortion or "blue spots" in the face .
    its the blue (high spots) which cuase the judder and harseness .
    If fitting a paddle plate then a reface of flywheel is the right way as an organic plate by its nature will wear the flywheel unevenly because its more flexible .
    a paddle plate is not flexible in any way, so uneven suraface on flywheel or cover will make it grab
    you also should not hold the car on a hill with a paddle clutch as the heat will build up very quickly
    If you o not want a paddle clutch then you must go for bigger capacity organic unit to handle the abuse better
    c2vts has EXACTLY same clutch as a saxo vts --but the life is about half that of a saxo
    reason-- the car is heavier and operation is hydraulic ,so people ride the clutch more becasue the pedal load is so light .

    its got a standard clutch on it now which i dont have any major faults with but im replacing the gearbox so it makes sense to do the clutch aswell.
    i was just going to go for a uprated fast road organic clutch as its got to be better than what i have.
    and there about half the price of a paddle clutch which i think will be abit to snappy if that makes sense
