Re: clutch (IntegR)
Exedy Hyper Carbon. Will last 200-300k miles, longer than the car I'd imagine.
Comes with a pricetag, so be ready to fork out $1500
When it comes to engine/drivetrain components, quality and reliability is directly proportional to the cost, so it might benefit you to first say a number, say...$800, and then we can tell you what clutch combinations will suit your needs.

Re: clutch (92TypeR)
and im guessing that come with a free lightweight flywheel witht hat purchase or wait i have to get that as well lol yea drivetrain is expensive. soon having mine rebuild im going 108k and no rebuild so im getting her done soon.

The Exedy Hyper Single, Hyper Carbon, and Twin Disc are all one-piece units, which includes the flywheel.
They are also 'push' clutches, so you cannot run any other component (ie: different flywheel or pressure plate...etc) besides other push systems, like Tilton.

I thought all b series clutches are push type; S2000 and NSX clutch is pull type clutch (the release bearing pulls the clutch cover to disengage; where as on the B series the release bearing pushes the clutch cover to disengage)

It is, and so are most cars on the road...I guess I was a little unclear. The Tilton/Exedy units use a special push release and t/o bearing, and you cannot use other components that don't match those specific items...hard to explain without a picture

Will it really last that long? or Was that sarcasm? Sorry im a little slow.
Couldnt find any info on lifespan but found this on Exedys website instead.

Due to the inherent properties in the warm up procedures of the carbon material we must specify the proper way to get the discs up to operating temperature. This process will heat the discs so that they will hold the specified torque ratings.
The correct method for heating up an Exedy Carbon Clutch is three, five second "slips" of the clutch within 30 seconds. This process may seem excessive but is necessary when producing such high power levels.</TD></TR></TABLE>
What does "slips" of the clutch mean? Does it mean to ride the clutch? (Let up the clutch half way and rev up the motor for 5 seconds--->I dont know but that seems pretty long and for three times in a row, any other clutch would be dust)
If this carbon clutch lasts a long time with doing that, it may very well be worth the price. It would be the last clutch we would ever need.

Carbon clutch discs wear at about 1/100th that of ceremetallic(s). It will last longer than your engine.
Since the carbon clutch discs have a fair amount of silicon, they are a good semiconductor, and dissipate heat very efficiently, so keeping them at "full grip" temperature requires some motivation. For example, if you are going to use this clutch at the drag strip, you would slip the clutch out before and during your burnout to bring it to a good temperature where it will grab hard.
Carbon clutches are also some of the easiest to drive with. They are not an on/off switch like many clutches like the HyperSingle or other unsprung heavy pressure units. Plus they save a good amount of weight as well. They have a smaller diameter (including flywheel) and carbon-silica is inherently lightweight.
