YOu can resurface your stock or get a new one.
Lighter flywheel will make your car rev up faster, engine doesn't work as hard.
yup just have you r stock one resurfaced unless you can get a good deal on a light flywheel..jsut put a sage 1 clutch for you surely do not have over 200 hp lol
You know better; next time will be a ban.
i was lookin on egay and found a stage one , with a 8lb flywheel , for about $225

*just my little knowledge*Getting a new flywheel is just the recomended thing to do fi you replace the clutch you don't have to do it. It should be resurfaced or something. As far as the flywheel it depends on the engine if you have a engine that thrives on hp not torque (b16) you could take a lighter flywheel. *Not a diss to anyone* If you have a turbo car A lighter flywheel will help spool faster. I would guess if you don't plan on putting down no more than like 220-180hp i think that would be good for a stage2. That is just my opinion, anyone correct me if i am wrong.
taht;s what im saying if oyu don;t ahve more than like 200 hp then you don't really need anything mroe than a stage 1..and ebay clutches have been good in my experince using them..i have bought 2 for my a couple of buddies of mine and they have worked perfectly...they have been installed over six months ago in each cars and one of them is drove over 100 miles a day and still works good..btw they are both stage 1 clutches and both civics
You know better; next time will be a ban.
then if you can;t find any better get it
You know better; next time will be a ban.
btw what is your motor and your tranny?
You know better; next time will be a ban.

You know better; next time will be a ban.

200whp you will definately need a stage2 you will probably fry that clutch. Just don't get something that is too good to be true cause it probably is. You don't have buy top of the line just dont get no BS you will regret it. Pullin out that tranny twice would suck.
is XTD a decent brand?

I would not bother to do it in this motor.

just if you boost it stay around 150-175 whp. That is the most i would give a stage1, i don't know i could be wrong.
i am not boostin this motor, i am gonna do another swap in May , somethin with a lot more potential , and i'll boost that one , i am just needin to replace the clutch , and figured i'd have a lil more fun with a better clutch

you will just get you a stage one lol

IF* i had the same car wiht engine and i KNEW i was gonna get a swap done . got get a autozone one no need to buy any high clucht for a stock engine . and yes having I,H,E is stock in my book. until u mess with internals and or get a turbo/supercharger then its stock and dont need a performance clucth
