Civic EG

im wondering if its better to go with a stage 1 or oem clutch i dont do tooo much beating on her but she is my daily driver...suggestions?

A good stage one should serve you just fine

iv been looking at some of the stage 1 on ebay but have read some bad reviews about them i dont have close to $400 for a clutch kit whats a good brand?!!

XTD Makes good clutches for D Series. The Stage 1 and 2 B Series are also pretty good.

I have a Stage 1 Clutch in my D16z6 Powered Daily driver sedan. Its awesome and I love the clutch. Its very drivable and have no problem at all daily driving it. It doesn't mush out like OEM clutchs do. Even in a Daily driver i wouldn't go to an OEM agian after this Stage 1.

After driving my sedan with its Stage 1 clutch and getting in my buddys Sedan(ZC nonvtec + DX Tranny Sedan) with an OEM Clutch its much more mushy and isn't near as much fun to drive. It almost feals like driving a Grandma car after my Sedan.

I have a Stage 2 Clutch in my B20b/b16 Tranny Delsol. Its more aggresive then the stage 1. When shifting quickly even from 4th to 5th I can get tire chirp on the freeway. It can be daily driven once you get use to it, however I wouldn't recommend this for a Daily Driver. Next time I split the engine and transmission I will swapping this out for an XTD or ACT Stage 1 Clutch.

A Friend of mine has had a few F1 Racing clutchs(in multiple cars) and says nothing but good things about them. I drove on them a few times and they felt pretty good. I wouldn't mind putting one in my cars in the future.

yeah nothing too serious daily driver for now... thanks for info into helpin me deside with what i want to do. ill deff try to get a photo of the project up soon

I have a stage 2 exedy clutch in my B18c. When I first got it I was used to my stock D series, so EVERYTIME I let of the clutch and gave it any gas, I would chirp tires. I must have looked like a tool for the first day of driving it. haha. Now that I'm used to it, I HATE the stock feel. I drove my brother's civic for about a week, and his pedal was mush. With my stage 2 clutch, the pedal is nice and stiff. It's not HARD, it's juuuuust right. Once you get used to the Staged clutches, you can learn to match the revs for a smoother, stock-like shift. I love it because it's not TOO jaw shattering when I shift, but it will GRIP when you thrash it. Chirping tires going into 3rd gear. lol.

i like the f1 $99 ebay stage 1 clutch.
held to 165hp for me.
the pressure plate has a soft pedal, won't kill your stock clutch M/C.
after 7k, looked like new.

alright just got it in the mail yesterday XTD stage 2 & flywheel kit. hopefully have it in by mid next week.

Very cool man, let us know how you like it. What weight is the flywheel?

the flywheel is 7.5 lbs hasnt been put into the car yet!! sooon tho!!!

You should try to get something from Exedy.

at close to double the cost ill see if il shoot myself in the foot with this one

okay clutch is going in car tomorrow how do i break it in?! i heard goin slow shifting at 2k every time basicaly baby the crap out of it?
