2010 Speed3 Clutch

[skatethesea]

So I am getting close to my 30k mile marker on the MS3. So I am thinking with all the abuse the car has taken by my shinanigans, its getting close to a clutch change. Now I am covered I know. So all I have to do is go burn it a bit and take it to the stealership and have then replace it for free. (yippy) But with plans of modding it to about 370whp/380wtq, I will be needing a heavier clutch, I think. So my question is,

How much torque is the stock clutch rated for? And how long do you think it would really last? I know my S2000 clutch lasted for about 55k miles of autocross, drift, and road racing. So I am guessing that the MS3 clutch would last a lot longer due to it being factory boosted and front wheen drive. (aka, no drifting) So I leave this open to thoughts and opinions. Gen1 owners chime in also please.

Clutches aren't covered under warranty.

I speaketh the truth

Damn, I am pretty sure it would have been a part of the drive train or something. Well, I guess screw it, I will still burn this out and get an aftermarket one. Bwahahahahaha

Yep, its true, clutches are considered wear & tear parts so no warranty for it...

Okay, well with that info set in stone. Does anyone know the torque specs of the stock clutch? Can it hold 350wtq reliably? Or should I just set aside the money for a clutch at the same time as the bigger turbo and associated parts.
