    Replacing a OEM clutch with a aftermarket one. I got the Valeo replacement clutch from Helix and A-arm bushings, going to do those at the same time. Save about 15lbs. mine is still stock just a few mods doing it alittle at a time when my wife lets me spend the money.

Seen on the Stlmini club site they are having a day drive around the 23rd of march St. Louis MINI Club is where I see that i'm looking for some other clubs now maybe I can find some that are alittle more active.

    I just got my mini in november last year so I haven't quite met any other local mini owners yet. This is something I am definitely not going to miss. Are you replacing stock clutch with another oem? And I have to get my power steering pump replaced quick! I got it off the car I also already printed off the paperwork to send it in for repair. It will take them a week so this is cutting it close.

    let me know how the clutch install is. Its my next job. I just had to order a new heater core today and installation hardware. Paid my power steering pump rebuild fee, bought a new power steering fan and power steering return hose + detroit tuned throttle body :D

    I need a clutch though pretty soon.

    Getting rid of the rotating mass of the OEM clutch will help with strip times too. I will let you know how it goes. Got the kit from Helix along with the guide tube.
