Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Seriously. NO. Do a search, and lose the idea right now! They are cowboys, who take your money for a pile of turd.
Have a look at the Helix Organic if you want a decent clutch. Check the group buy section.
Sideways a LOT

I bought a techniclutch once. Never again. It started slipping after a week.  This was a Rover though not a coupe. They are basically a standard clutch with a red cover, and not very good ones at that.

If you google "techniclutch problems" - you'll get even more Basically, the forums that are now finding out about Techniclutch's poor goods and service are: PuntoSports Lancer register GTR.co.uk Skyline owners clb RS owners club UK-mkivs (Golfs etc) mg-rover fiatforum briskoda scoobynet passionford 106rallye manta owners club vwaudiforum fordownersclub imoc rs-mania midlandslotus 205gtidrivers gave up after 5 pages Admittedly, there were quite a few links to forum threads where the ACTUAL text was "no problems", so I haven't included these. It would all go towards proving the theory that Techniclutches are in fact standard pattern clutches, with a red coverplate (red powder coating is obviously good for another 100lb-ft torque capacity doncha know  )

OK point taken. I have two engines in bits at the moment and thinking about making the clutch bullet proof while it is all out. I have GTA with uprated walkers organic cover plate on already and did experience a tiny bit of slip for a couple of weeks then stopped slipping. Not sure why or how that happened but worried about building car back up only to find I have a slipping clutch.

did you have a paddle fitted on your car Nigel, or if it was somebody elses how many miles were on the clutch? When I first got my car it was very on/off but the clutch was only a couple of thousand miles old. after 3k more miles it was much smoother and easier to use IMO!
