This seems interesting..... Carbon clutch? didn't think this was possible on the 4200/GS

Thinking about it, wasn't there a welsh chap a year or so ago that was experimenting with kevlar/carbon clutches?

Yes there was definitely a thread re carbon/kevlar clutch development.

It was a 4200 IIRC. Mad dog clutches supplied the kit. I think voicey may have advised against it at the time.

I seem to remember that the car ended up for sale a few months later.

I dont think they ever got the clutch set up to work properly.

Fairly sure thats the same car as the thread on here. Same colour, same wheels and a seat cupra splitter on the front.

A 2006 car with 86k on the clock priced at £25k price seems a little ambitous.

With those man maths i wonder how much my 2007 with 47k on the clock should be priced at.

£25k....cuckoo land in reality. However seems cheap to me if someone was interested as makes my 4200 worth about £35k

Why would you?... a properly set up clutch is good for 1k per 1%.

Again why bother it's always the spring tangs on the clutch cover that goes first. The plates never get to slip point if they did that would be 60k miles.

Pretty sure that was sold by ADG in March '15 for less than half of that and more miles than the 86k it apparently had at its recent service.

Looking at the MOT history it had done 96,413 at the end of March this year...
