Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a good clutch/flywheel combo and an installer for my 96 Accord VTi? The clutch in the car at the moment is worn and slips ;-( I thought that while I'm replacing the clutch, I might as well replace the flywheel too.
Here's what I'm after: I would like something with more bite than OEM and can withstand the extra power (?!) provided by bolt-ons to the humble F22B1. It hopefully shouldn't cause my left leg to shatter under the pressure. I've driven a stock R33 a fair bit and that the clutch in that seems pretty nice. When I go back to my Accord I feel like I'm gonna force the clutch pedal through the floor!
I've [Search]ed - Lost of people are suggesting the Exedy Sports Organic Clutch [
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36222 ] with pretty good opinions. However, according to [ http://www.exedy.com.au/SpecSheet.aspx?SpreadsheetRowId=36626 ], the Sports Organic is not available for the CD5 :( Other people are suggesting the Exedy HD which is available for the CD5 in a Clutch Kit (HCK-6521 HD). I've no idea what flywheel to get with this if I do get the Exedy HD Clutch Kit - suggestions?
Or... Xtreme Clutches. Reading through the forums suggests that the Xtreme HD Cluthes are pretty good. Xtreme's website shows that the "Heavy Duty Clutch Kit (KHN22009HD)" has a disc with "organic facings" - They also have kits which use ceramic instead of organic materials. As a daily driver, would the organic or ceramic clutch plate be better? For the clutch, there's the: "Ultra Lightweight Chrome-Moly Flywheel Weight approximately 4.4kg" (Part No. FHN004CL) available from Xtreme. What other flywheels would people recommend which aren't too expensive or too light for a daily driver with bolt-ons?
Finally, as I live in Adelaide, I will need recommendations as to where to get it installed. Someone suggested if getting a Xtreme clutch/flywheel then get Australian Clutch Services at Wingfield. Some other people have said that MOTOROSSI in Klemzig is the only place they'd take their car - So, ideas?
