Mk3 Ford Focus 1.6TDCi Clutch Upgrade?

Featured Replies

How's it going folks, 

I've been a member on the FOC for a little while now, I've done more reading than I have writing, although now comes the time when I would love some advise and I found why not bring it to x amount of people that own Focus' themselves. 

Attached is a photo of my Mk3 Focus, just for fun, not really an up to date photo, its just cool:laugh: 

Anyway! 

In a little while I am planning to Stage 3 various parts in my car, at the moment were at Stage 1 with a remap and a K&N Air Filter + Box. 

Its sitting at around 140bhp although I know that with power CAN come issues, has anyone been successful with making this type of Focus into a project. My question is though, has anyone upgraded their clutch? My car is 2011 with 61000 and I know its going to be clutch time soon so I want to upgrade the clutch so when I go for a new turbo, injectors etc theres a better chance of not burning the clutch in a week.

Don't know of anyone who has gone further than stage 1, I know sachs do a clutch kit which can hold an extra 20% extra power roughly, also looked through your instagram I had no idea you could fit an ST body kit to a MK3, does it go on with no problems?

Ahhh I'll be roaming into unknown territory, exciting, but anyway, ill have to have a look into Sach's clutch kit! Yeah well I left it in yesterday with the parts and he was able to have the front and rear fitted today no issues, the side skirt brackets may have to be trimmed ever so slightly, but yeah when it's finished ill be uploading lots of photos!
