    Yo guys, picked up my first skid car 318is M44. Clutch started slipping after a session, just wondering if its worth while upgrading it as I plan to use it quite a bit and only being a 1.9 its gonna require a bit of clutch kicking to instigate or will the standard clutch be man enough? Not on a massive budget so don't wanna fork out for a fancy clutch if the standard ones gonna cope fine.

    Cheers guys.

    Stock clutch will be ok.

    Don't rely on a clutch kick to initiate, use speed and a flick instead.

    Just buy a Sachs one that will be perfect.

    You need to clutch kick a lot while in a corner as they bog down a bit sometimes in second, speed and flick is good on entry.

    Hydro helps when u lack the power tho.

    If you ever did want to upgrade... I believe the 3.0 M3 clutch fits your M44! I can get more info on if you like?
