    Hi from Essex, hopefully soon to be a 8P S3 owner very soon !

    still no joy on my search :( getting frustrated now. i think i'll have to settle without the Recaro's :( how much can the standard clutch take? im only thinking of stage 2 atm, unless the extra's for stage 2+ would be worth the added cost...?
