part number for clutch kit- HC5-SPSS
part number for flywheel- 191161
That clutch holds up to about 186 ft-lbs of torque, so it will hold what you are going to have done to the car, and still have a pretty stock feel on the clutch pedal but have a faster engagement over stock. The flywheel will help lessen the rotating mass of the bottom end and give you a bit better acceleration over stock, not saying its going to be supa fast but it will be better

Re: ___||SOHC Squad||___
well the big portion of the labor is having to pull the hub assembly to press out the lower ball joint, so easiest and cheapest thing to do would be to pull the hub assembly, take it into a shop press out the ball joint, then press in the new one, then reinstall the hub assembly

oh ok thanks, well for what they charge to do that I might as well just drop the car off and have em do the whole job, not happy about it but im gonna get warranty on the part and then im going after the manufacturer of the part for a labor warranty. thanks for your insight guys you've been a big help

Re: ___||SOHC Squad||___
pulling the hub really isnt that hard, its 4 bolts total, its really easy, im doing that to my sedan today putting on the new integra hubs. you just take off the upper ball joint bolt, lower ball joint bolt and the tie rod end bolt, then pull the bolt for the brake line and pull it out.

General run down: My name is Chuck, I'm from Cincinnati, I drive a 94 civic ex. 5 speed. tucked y8, megnaflow exhaust, no name header, lowered on Eibach springs, HID 10k's, short shifter amd a few other misc things.
The pix I inclded were before my tire blew and messed my car up. I will be getting my car fixed new month along with alot of other upgrades(i'll tell what all those are in a minute)
Current State:
Before the tuck:
After:
As soon a s I get me income tax back I will be giving the car a complete makeover:
1.Either Konig Retrack, Enkei FN-18, or Rota Track-R rims. Which ever I decide will be 15" white with machined lip
2.New front bumper, passenger fender, and passenger mirror.
3.Jdm thin side moldings
4.Window visors
5.Rear window visor
6.Sunroof visor
7.M3 stlye trunk lip
8.Buddy club lip kit
9.Amber side markers
10.Vision Amber corners
11.Windows Tinted lightly
12.Extended Lug nuts, probably Blox new burnt purple color ones
13.Jdm Audio console
14.Both rear quarter panels redone to get rid of the rust
15.Amber knock off Jdm fogs
16. Nice set of coilovers with struts, I want a lower stance but not super bouncy so I'll probably get Skunk2
17. Blox read lca's
18.Tow hook. (haven't decided if I want one for front or rear)
19. Weld in all old bolt holes in the bay and shave it/respray it
20. Respray the whole car same purple
21. Clear transparent hood
Like I said, all of this should be done by late Feb. It could very well be done earlier because I have already found where Im going to buy everything from, its jsut a matter of getting everything done in a timely manner but not rushing and possibly having crappy quality installation.

Re: ___||SOHC Squad||___
Sounds like its your bushings squeaking, need to be oiled or greased or replaced.
Alright you could go with the act stock street disc, with the modified street pressure plate and a 8lb fidanza flywheel
part number for clutch kit- HC5-SPSS
part number for flywheel- 191161
That clutch holds up to about 186 ft-lbs of torque, so it will hold what you are going to have done to the car, and still have a pretty stock feel on the clutch pedal but have a faster engagement over stock. The flywheel will help lessen the rotating mass of the bottom end and give you a bit better acceleration over stock, not saying its going to be supa fast but it will be better
