ok..... everybody... i got lucky and bought this civic for free but it needs a clutch......
do you guys think i should change the flywheel too?

has around 185k ...................what is the recomened time or mile to replace it......thanks in advance.

 

yes
but if you dont get the stock flywheel resurfaced.

 

It's recommended to replace it when it starts going bad lol... You can take a look at it anyways, and i'd say at 185k miles assuming it's the stock flywheel replacing it would only be for the best...

You can get an oem clutch kit for like $60 clutch/flywheel so I don't see any harm in just replacing it for state of mind anyways...

 

pretty good condition for free

 

I would say thats a helluva deal....


AN si hatch for free? People still sell 'em for like $3-$5K

If you need to buy a clutch for it, I would definitely recommend changing it. However, you need to determine what your plans are for this car first. I wouldn't just resurface the stock one, or just buy a OEM replacement if you plan on modifying...you will regret it later when it starts slipping.

However, if you're planning on turbo, you can simply get away with just resurfacing the stock flywheel. But you will definitely need more than an OEM replacement clutch

Lol...let's be serious now new GNC employee!

But in all seriousness...

 

hahaha ight well u got me on the GNC knowledge... But i been in the honda game longer so now what..!!!

 

For my 1989 Civic Si,....i bought an exedy oem clutch of ebay, and some F1 flyhwheel that was about 8-10 lbs.......The flywheel i had to get used to again, i actually stalled the car a few time the first week, but after getting used to it again.....i loved it. Revs are so responsive, for downshift blips. You sorta get used to the feeling, like all mods, but driving other manual cars with stock flywheels feel like ****. I say go light, the lightest chromoly you can get (will also be cheaper)

 

free as in parents gave it to you?

 

what mad man gives away a clean eg hatch
,for me it would be like winning the lotto

haha that was exactly what i was thinking!

that sums it up really. Without knowing your wants and needs out of this car, i'd buy an oem clutch and flywheel.

 

see.....this lady was selling it for $1000 then i told her the clutch was 500 bucks to fix and the alternator was 200bucks and it has high millage so she end up selling to me for 250 but im not gonna brag 250 bucks is like free!! counting all the audio system she gave me..

Don't mind ^^^ statements... He's into dating immigrants and doesn't really go for american chicks anyways..

 

And I assumed she was old, because she sold a car for $250 bucks, meaning she's probably been around since cars were $250 bucks brand new...
