Wonder what Sf kit would do to my car

I hear all great things about the Sf Kit, but the gains worry me, as my car already dropped the alternator and had to have a transmission rebuild, and what about that stock clutch? I am just looking for anyone's opinion on the saftey for my car, and for any who may wanna flame me on the transmission, I do race the car, but I dont do stupid **** to tear the tranny out as most the old flk so affectionatly say...Basically any advice here is much welcome

The transmissions in our cars suck, mine is already failing 22,000 miles. It has made wierd noises all over, in fact every 7thgen I've ridden in makes those noises. Way to go honda.

Depending on how you drive it, a new clutch won't be far behind the turbo. I've had the stock clutch for over 35k miles now but when I swapped out the engine I also had to swap off the tranny and could see where the pressure plate was starting to wear so I know a new clutch isn't too far away especially when I put the boost back on.

i had my tranny rebuilt a year ago under warranty, that is ur best bet, otherwise honda will charge hella my bill was 8 pages, but at the end it said $0 so i was happy

safety, upgrade the clutch, as ur tranny is rebuilt, u dont need to go around beating the hell out of ur car every second ur in it, otherwise it will break real quick and u just wasted all that money on turbo, drive like a grandma once in a while and ur car will like u more

if you've driven a new 6 speed tiburon or a new sentra you'd have a pretty good idea of why a six speed would be useless on our cars at least IMO. First gear in both of those cars at least to me is useless far too short and just not necessary on our cars.
