Alright i got:
intake
headers
exhaust

Which clutch do you think would be better, i wana get exedy clutch and lightened flywheel or act. Not sure on what flywheel yet. The stiffness of the clutch will not bug me and personaly i would rather have it stiffer. But what i'm trying to ask is it worth the money for the stage 1 for what i got ?

stage 1 will work fine... lighter flywheel would be cool

do you need stage 1? absolutely not. oem will work fine with your mods. but if you plan on going with some form of forced induction, say a 50 shot of nitrous or higher, then id consider a stage 1.

well first off you only have one header lol. but oem is good for you, although stage 1 will be nice for quicker launches and whatnot. dont get the lightened flywheel.

why not get the lightened flywheel i take it the stage will be like 2 times harder

what do you mean harder?
i say dont get the flywheel because i remember my transmissions teacher explaining why it can sometimes be a bad idea. i think it was... its lighter cus thers less metal so it doesnt disapate heat as well and you can easily warp or crack it if you sorta ride the clutch or something like that, i forget if thats what he said or if its just out of my own tiny brain.

stiffer clutch is what i meant. I'm thinking about nos lately but i don't think i'll ever go through with it.

I'd go stage 2 if you have turbo dreams or plan some big mods.

tops i would do is nos something that i could convert over to the k20a2 engine. nos would be good on the stage one right ?

Quick newbie question, whats the difference between OEM clutch n ne stage clutch?

aftermarket clutch can handle more hp and tq, they have better grip on the flywheel for launches and heavy duty pressure plate so you dont have the feel of a girly clutch lol (not acutal reason for heavy duty pressure plate)

depends what shot your running and wet or dry, like a dry 50 shot youd definatley be fine on a stage 1 (maybe even stock) but a 75 shot you should go towards stage 2 especially a wet shot...................ah hell just get the stage 2 anyways even if you stay stock.

I don't think the oem clutch grips quite enough ... even for the d17. On a hard launch, it won't grip that well ... regardless of how much power you're putting down ...

currently, I have the oem dc5-r clutch and I can feel that it doesn't quite grip that well when I do a high rpm quick shift into 2nd
