Standard will be fine. No point in spending the extra for no reason.

i like the way you're completely ignoring everyones advise lol.

as long as you get a new standard one, let it run in and don't do too many 0-60 runs (ie dumping the clutch with loads of revs), then standard will be fine.

plus with all those mods you won't have to rev it as hard, so shouldn't need to upgrade unless you like bouncing off the limiter around town.

Torque kills things like clutches/gearboxes etc.
Being a 1400, torque output wont be massive.
So it will be fine.

Ive got a normal "motor factors" one on my 1600 16v, and its fine so far(they use the same clutches as a 1400)
