Most manual owners I know who have modded their BA's and like to race them, end up putting a better heavy duty clutch in.

Try to get a rating out of Ford on the Nm that the BA T5 has been build to take. I'll save you the trouble Mal Wood has said to me that the box is only good for around 320Nm and its more luck than go design that people driving with the T5 arn't having more problems.With out question the clutch is a must.
