what clutch do you guys recommend? I’ve heard the puck style grabs hard as hell but sucks for the street and eats flywheels. is clutchmasters a good brand for civics? I want something that grabs but is streetable. ---

idk if centerforce makes a clutch for hondas, but for dsms they are very streetable and hold 300hp. I switched over from an xtd 6-puck clutch because is was near impossiple to drive in traffic. lol at all the boost is like drugs comments, it makes sence, I’ve done alot of horrible things to make my car faster… ---

I’ve heard the puck style grabs hard as hell but sucks for the street and eats flywheels. is clutchmasters a good brand for civics? I want something that grabs but is streetable. For how much power? I run and ACT 6 puck and Maxx Pressure plate. I Wouldent recomend it for anything under 450whp. I would get the ACT MAXX Pressure plate and the street disk. But they are all good. I had an exedy Street stage one hold 11’s and has over 28,000 miles on it now in my girl friends integra. Its a pretty heavy clutch (To push in) Compition clutch is also very good ---

i don’t think i want a puck style. clutchmaster makes a clutch kit for civics that hold like 110% more than the stock clutch. and what does RLS stand for and are their manifolds any better than spoolin performance? ---

ACT/Exedy/Clutchmasters/etc…all are fine, you’ll find people who swear by one and hate the rest. In reality just don’t ever do the “stage” stuff. RLS? Never heard of it. Did you check out the Quick4 Spoolin manifold I told you about? Check out manifold by: Neukin Peakboost Full-Race CRP Spoolin Performance Treadstone Performance RevHard Spark Racing SMSP SFP ---

ya i checked out spoolin. i liked it and the price wasn’t bad. i figure all equal lengths are going to be about the same if they’re a/c friendly. the only thing that i’m really looking for is price and warrenty. so if i go with clutchmaster what should i get there’s like 3 different ones for 545?? stage 2,3, and 4 ---

I have a 6 puck ACT disk and a sprung ACT pressure plate (non-extreme) and a 12lb flywheel. I’ll let you know what it looks like after 2000 miles of hard driving when I disassemble it sometime this winter. ---

ok i can get a bare ge sleeved b16 block for 950 shipped. i need pistons, rods, a crank and what else to make it complete??? i calculated it out and if i get forged pistons and rods, it’s only costing me 400 more dollars to get it sleeved. they have a head and a crank lying around and i can get a complete motor from them for 1550. anybody think that’s a bad deal?? ---
