Default Car doesnt want to start!

Sometimes when I try to start my car it wont start, it just clicks but it doesnt turn the motor. Its like the clutch isnt there, my clutch and starter are brand spankin new, I have a 6puck excedy with lightened flywheel and heavy duty pressure plate, I have to pop the clutch to make it start but sometimes it takes a while to start and I already changed my main relay.. What can it be??? I have a B16 in a EG

yeah same thing happened with me.
all i heard was clicking... and it clicked really fast and all. . .
what i did was i jump started the car, and i guess that's all it needed. it didn't happen again for me, so maybe you should try that.

edit : btw, i had to try and start it about 5 - 6 times before it actually started. . .

Check the wire going to the starter. It may be loose. Also check your battery terminal connections and make sure they are tight.

I'd also swap in a different battery, just to make sure. I just had the not starting problem, and everyone was convinced it was my alternator, and it turned out to be a bad battery...
