I have a 2000 Honda civic si and i need a new clutch which brand would you recommend me also the flywheel which would be best i was thinking on a ACT clutch stage 1 idk let me know what you guys think thanks im new to the Honda game so yea i need some help I appreciated

 

Any mods? Any reason to have an upgraded clutch?

 

Stock Honda clutch or Exedy clutch equivalent to stock.

 

If you're daily driving in traffic, you do not want a racing clutch.

 

Meh, certain brands have a heavier pressure plate than others. I had no problem DDing my JRSC D16 with a stage 2 competition clutch in traffic. I have heard ACT clutches are harder on the legs though.

However, I only had the stage 2 since my stock clutch would start to slip after a little bit.

OP, remember, an OEM replacement clutch is meant to last. A racing clutch is purely meant to hold the power you are putting down. I can see a performance clutch dying out much faster than an OEM clutch on a stock car.

 

thanks a lot for all your help i think im gonna go for an exedy clutch stage 1 it wouldnt hurt my civic right? and should i resurface the flywheel or get a new one? the only mod to the engine my car has is a short ram injen intake

 

Intake and exhaust stuff really doesnt add much power. A stock clutch can handle that with no problem. I am saying once you start boosting and exceeding like 30% more hp than what came with the motor, you should look towards upgrading.

Either get a replacement, or the stock on re-surfaced. Doesn't really matter.

There is no such thing as too much clutch. You can get a stage 5 if you really wanted. Yes, it would be pointless, but it wouldn't hurt anything except your leg after a while of DDing it. ;P

 

I changed my 00 si clutch at 80,000 mi and just sanded down the flywheel and wiped with brake cleaner. Unless you see major grooves I dont think you need to change the flywheel if you're just using a stock like replacement.

I would think that the heavier clutches would kill an old worn out clutch/slave cylinder.
