Bringing my car back from the dead..exhaust and clutch question
Right..my spare car, fully built 12.5:1 b16 in a 94 del sol shell had one of the
clutch bolts back out a few months ago while I was letting my bro drive it.
He parked it, came back, it was towed yada yada. $1350 later I'm taking leave over the holidays and am going to fix/drive it back.
Got a GSR trans off of here (idc about the taller gears) that I'm going to swap in (old b16 had a grind into 3rd),
going to be redoing the shifter bushings and putting a b&m short shifter in it as well.
As far as clutches go, I've had good experiences with Competition clutch. Although when looking at my dealer its only listed at $140.00... Something can't be right, clubcivic.com has them listed for ~300..
Should I chance it or source it from someone else?

As of now my car has a full pacesetter exhaust. Absolutely terrible. The fact that they even are allowed to sell it is shocking. Restrictive, raspy and crap quality.
I was thinking of a standard 4-2-1 tri-y header and the tanabe medallion
cat-back. I have to use a pre-made/commericial kit because of time restraints when I'm home and my lack of giving a fu*k.
These are what I was looking at, I need something relatively free flowing while maintaining its stealth/quietness.

And to mate to the clutch a fidanza 7.5lb lightweight flywheel.
Thoughts? I've already read up on all of these, just double checking to make sure I'm not about to regret my purchases.

Re: Bringing my car back from the dead..exhaust and clutch question
Yup had the same issue happen to me,flywheel bolt came loose,busted a clutch spring,spring got stuck and cracked my fly wheel. Um great combination on exhaust and header,go with a hel tech,or a skunk 2 alpha series header. There really great flowing header i have a hel tech and love it great power.The exhaust not a fan of them there always loud no matter what,i have a Top Fuel 1000 drag/street series exhaust system louder then **** as well. Clutch brand is great,there really good for the price and can take a beating i do a lot of circut and mountain running and its the best.
