Great I understand now haha
Can you buy a normal manual?
If so what's the standard clutch/flywheel good for bhp wise?

Indeed you can

Clutch should be good for Stage 1 but that depends on how the tuner delivers the power. Some spike it diesel style, others, like myself, prefer smooth and progressive power  :smiley:

It also depends on how the previous owner treated it too mind  :whistle:

Cool and what would a stage 1 give you roughly?
Mpg also?
I see some at edition 38 the interior is amazing ;-)

Again depends on tuner but anything from 285bhp+

MPG depends on your right foot  :wink:  lowish 30's on a cruise: mid twenties having a bit of fun then low teens when you're hammering it..........
