Stage 3 clutch!

[itzdave]

just came into my shop today!!! im so stoked to put it on, but im not gunna be able to for about a month. and when i have the motor out im gunna (prolly) rebuild the bottom end, repaint the motor, change all motor mounts, engine bay clean up, etc... I CANT WAIT!!!

[AccordB20A]

i know how it feels , sadly i have a rebuilt motor and no flash clutch to install poosssss

[russiankid]

I feel ya man. I can't wait to pull the engine out on my BMW and swap the trans for a 5-speed, but money is setting me back from doing it, and time....fuck!

[2oodoor]

boo hoo on any bmw stories..

all due respect for your accord finese however

Dave sounds like you are stoked, have fun.

[86ccord]

gah i need money!!! but sick pick up bro! cant wait to see the clean up pictures..

[3gmodifier]

i deffinatley know how you feel dude, once i got my b20a basically built, i had the tranny on it with whole thing on a stand. i made a usable harness to run the engine on a stand in my garage but couldnt make it work cuz i didnt my fidanza flywheel or clutch. it wasnt till almost 4 months later when i got my parts. at that point i said fuck it, and just put the damn thing in the car with no axles and ran that beast. ALL IN GOOD TIME DUDE!!!!!

stage 3 man thats SICK WIT IT lol...What brand Clutchnet?

[itzdave]

gripforce... i know, its not a big name brand, but i did a lil bit of searching on other honda/acura forums and quite a few guys said that they got this same one, and that 10000 miles later, it still works great! so i figured id give it a shot. stage 3 is prolly a lil overkill for my car, but oh well, i had a stage 1 and went thru it in about 1.5 yrs of driving. and i dont run my car that hard really, so i figured stage 2 would be nice (and id kinda been thinking about upgrading anyway) then after i damn near fried the clutch in seattle on v-day, i started looking and just HAD to get the stage 3...

At one point in time it used to be Honda stories...but now she's solid as rock(knock on wood) so no need.

Sweet! that stage 3 is going to be killer on daily driving though is it a 6 puck or street disk?
im going with a stage 1 or stage 2 street disk LSD clutch for my civic

[Rendon LX-i]

[MessyHonda]

wow...that is cheap...i got a clutchnet one and paid close to 600 bucks with a 8 pound flywheel

[Rendon LX-i]

and the sad thing messy its looks the same only thing different its BLUE LOL..thats crazy...thats what im getting next

[itzdave]

yea and it doesnt come with a flywheel

[Civic Accord Honda]

Why?!

its ALOT stiffer then stock there for clutch peddle is harder to push in not really a big deal though once u drive with it for about a week u get used to it (and your calf gets stronger! XD)

well from what rujudy says he said that clutchnet is the best stuff...im not going to lie...but i love my clutch....grips good...even with my integera gears...it will grab hard.

[Tomisimo]

have stage 1 clutch with resurfaced flywheel but not installed yet :/ from gripforce as well... Well will see what its good for later this summer.
After driving S4 5v with stage 3 and DTM short clutch pedal.. I can judge...

I wasn't referring to that. I was referring to the fact that your civic is bone stock.

yea ya dont really need a stage 3 unless you have done a few power adders.

yeah but if i plan on keeping it i want to get a good clutch so it wont be slipping when i start getting bolt ons. but if i'm going to sell it later on i'm just going to get a vatozone clutch.. not sure yet but i will know by the time i go to get the clutch lol.... the good clutch is only $70 more so i mine as well just get it ether way lolol

Stage 3 is probably overkill for 95% of the N/A accords on here...


CAH, if you do plan on keeping it, def go with something beefed up a little bit. I put a stock replacement in my civic that was pretty much stock, and it didnt hold up real well.
