Default What clutch are you guys using and your recommendation on which one you think I should buy?

Well, as some of you may know..of the incident that happened last weekend with my integra...(my friend misshifting from 2nd to 3rd)
Well for a while now I have been wanting to get rid of the horrendous 6 puck act clutch I have..that the previous owner of the Type R motor installed.

Anyhow here are the mods to my motor:
1998 Spec b18c5
Jdm 4 to 1 header
Carsound cat
Es oval muffler with 2 and half inch piping

Thats all for now ..but plan to do some other minor bolt ons...nothing to dramatic though..I wanna keep the signature power of my motor...without going all out

What clutch do you think would be good for my needs?


Thanks for any helpful info you can give me

Well, OK...but I'm not sure you'll like the answer, because it's not very high dollar or trendy.

With your basically stock motor, I'd call Len at Baranco Acura and get an OEM clutch kit.

Honestly.

</TD></TR></TABLE>Honestly, I have been thinking that ....I actually have one on order at Acura..and it should be here tomorrow or the next day..but just trying to see your guys insight on what I would be happiest with ...performance and reliability wise.
Thanks again..any others?

You can use your existing Pressure Plate with Clutchmasters Kevlar disk. Very easy on the drivetrain, plus it holds more torque than organic discs.

here is one for sale in the classifieds:
