Hello all, I will keep it short and simple!
I am getting ready to buy
- a new clutch for my S, since the stock one is really not fun coming out of first with the little bit of slipping that occurs.
-combat heat soak, I have a cooling plate already but want radiator and maybe fan reccomends?
-Lastly, brakes. I am in need of new brakes but want an upgrade over oem.

Thanks!

Car Analogy

Is your motor stock? Unless its got a power adder, like supercharged, you want a stock clutch setup, with an act pp. Get a lightweight chromoly flywheel if you have an ap2 (stock flywheel is really heavy, 22 lbs). If its an ap2, it may be slipping at higher rpm due to flywheel weight combined with the clutch delay valve. So lighter flywheel, remove the delay valve, act pp for a little extra clamping, otherwise stock clutch parts (friction disk, bearings, etc)

Do you track? Do you use ep tires? If no to either, just stick with stock brakes. You won't increase stopping power with a bbk, just increase stopping repeatability (dissipate heat fast enough to keep up with track work).

If you want to get rid of heat soak, wrap your headers, and use gold reflective foil on the part of your airbox directly in front of the radiator and next to the engine block. Or get a vented hood, cutting the oem hood doesn't really work that well unless you can guide the airflow you're venting.
