Default What shal i do next?(perplexed)pardon the "longness"

Well,..I'm deciding on what I should do next to my ITR,.. for a Mod that I will be happy w/ as wll as "FEEL" for a decent amount of time(yeah right ).Options are:
Spend $$ on

1: JDM ITR Header/high flow cat & VAFC (with dyno tuned)?
2: go ahead and buy a TODA / any GOOD *new* lightweight flywheel(to hold on to) and wait to get a JDM final drive to have it all put in @ the same time?

Is the Flywheel/Final drive mod the most noticable gain in response/ quickness I could do and "Feel"?

Basically i wanna do the Flywheel/FD mod but I'm pretty damn impatient when it comes to mods to my ride.

I hate to wait for chit espically with how long it may take to get all the items ready,.Flywheel,fd,labor$$,etc)! Is it worth it to wait?
I wanna go ahead and get a flywheel while I have the money now and then see about finding a JDM final drive down the road.

lemme know what ya think,..I understand that the price diffrence is pretty major between the 2 options but lemme know anything else I could do??

THANX GUYS/GALS

***MAIN QUESTION: Who has got best price on the TODA Flywheel and from where?

It all depends, what do you primarily use the car for, and what are your goals?

It is my daily driver/"plaything" but I want some quickness that i can feel but don't really wanna get to crazy as of yet w/ cams,etc and the whole 9,...been there done that.
I have never tracked/Auto'X'd,etc,..may plan to some day but I actually wanna take care of this one and when I do stuff to it MOD wise,..wanna do it the RIGHT way!

I don't want to have a "rollin problem" on my hands again!!
my old GSR(modded to death) was always looking for something to go wrong w/ it!!!

I want it keep it reliable.MAIN ISSUE

A light weight FW, should not cause any problems.
JDM 4-1 very nice for the money, even better with VAFC and tuned
Toda Header, FW and FD all together- would be a large kick in the ***.

But seeing how you drive it a lot and want no possible headaches, any of the above would be fine.

I might learn toward the JDM 4-1 due to its price (if anything ever happened cheaper to replace)

But out of all the mods that I've bought (aka pissed away moola), the FD and FW made the biggest difference/smile factor out of all of them.

Thanx guys! Yeah,....I think the header/VAFC mod is not gonna be what I'm lookin for @ this moment.
I don't wanna swap the clutch mainly cuz I've always had clutch problems(throw out berring rattling ****,..you name it)
my stock only has 25,000 miles on it.Love the stock feel.(although I'm sure theres stock like feel clutches w/ more bite to em)


Who's got the best price on the TODA Fly? *NEW*
I've seen the JDM Final @ about $370+ etc. Anyone seen better?

VENDORS? please chime in

thanx again

I'm quite happy with the OEM clutch.

I don't see the point in upgrading to a "better" clutch unless there is a need for it.

Yeah, an ATS 4.929 for $785. as advertized at ATS-USA (again, link below in my sig) including neccessary JDM 1st gear, ring gear and needle bearing. Totally subjective and opinions may vary but, I feel it's a kick *** mod and the best of the mods I've done besides any safety or rubber.

In the end make sure you research as much as possible before you drop any $$$ on your next big thing.

Best of luck.
