sooo, long story short I pwned my tranny. So i have the tranny straight, but i need a clutch and flywheel, I dont want a too agressive clutch, and I also need a flywheel. My car is a 2001 civic ex 5 speed, could someone let me know a good combo to get and where at?, thanks

dezod offers stuff... what kinda of clutch and flywheel do you want... and i assume you know what changing the flywheel does... i recomend the excedy for a direct replacement... thats what i have on mine... its the stage one steet/comp. clutch with disk and i just reflnished my flywheel... if you install it urslef... and have any questions... i have done it myself... feel free to askquestions...

I have the Exedy Racing Stage 1 clutch and lightened flywheel. I absolutely love it, and my engine only has your standard bolt-ons (for now).

Here's the thread I made when I was researching it and then bought it:

Researching Gripforce Exedy set-up

Here's the thread I made when I got it and installed it:

Speedfoos' Gripforce Clutch

I'm really happy with it and know a couple other folks (Haysoos on d-series.org is one) who bought the same setup and also love it. The whole shebang cost me $425 shipped.

Oh, gsniper666, I still like the Ingall's stiffy now that its installed correctly. I've had it on for about 2 weeks now. It feels pretty much the same now as it did when I put it on wrong. Wheel hop is mostly gone now, and that's spinning them from a 5K launch, with a shriek in 2nd and a little chirp in 3rd.

Let me know if I can help with some clutch options. Car boosted? What's it used for? DD I presume?

actually car is bone stock, my only plans are to do a few bolt ons(intake, exhaust/header, cam), but i know that a lighter flyhweel will increase engine response, my main concern was if there is any negative issues associated with a lighter flywheel which will effect driveability, and as for the clutch i dont want anything harsh, preferably close to stock. and yes, this car is my dd.

Not really, just try not to go under 11 pounds. Its makes gettin going from a stop a little more difficult. You have to rev a little higher as you have less inertia (especially on those 7lb Fidanzas) , but then again, there are several folks who swear by the 7 pounders. Since you're staying with mild bolt-ons, and a its a daily driver, stick with a full-face organic (no 4 or 6 puck discs), and maybe a lighter flywheel. There are theories out there that a lighter flywheel lowers your gas mileage because there isn't as much inertia behind a lighter flywheel so you have to stay on the gas more to keep the same speed. If that's true, I haven't noticed it on my 11 pounder. Everyday really isn't Earth Day.

Stick with an 11lb Flywheel unless you want hardcore all motor status. The downside to the lighter flys is slower coming out of the hole.

Close to stock, I would go Stage 1 Comp Clutch (not to break the bank)

If you adiment on a full faced disc, Stage 2

Exedy organic

These are the 3 cheapest, closest to OE and still have some value to them.

A new flywheel would be a huge waste of money, you're better off spending that $$ elsewhere.
