My car is near standard (only afew bolt ons) and IMO it was worth every cent. Trust me, you'll love the HD organic!! The lightened flywheel is well worth it aswell. Don't expect a massive increase in acceleration, how ever, responsivness off the engine is largly increased, and your accelleration mid rev range is improved nicely.

it should feel harder than stock, but shouldnt be too hard to drive
Its a little firmer, but pushing the clutch in is not going to be the problem for your girlfriend. However, she might have a little hassle with the take up of the clutch, until she gets used to it. It can be a little bity at first. Then again i don't know what sort of experience your g/f has with driving.Quote:

try using nulon additives
dont use nulon.....
its just a patch up solution which doesnt actually fix anything. if anything it just prolongs the damage.
if you gonna fix something do it properly
crunching gears means your syncro is blocking up and not releasing properly, you dont have to rebuild the whole box just the gear that crunches, normally you screw them up by not shifting properly eg: pushing the clutch in half way and throwing the gear in before your clutch has fully released, i have a euro version of holden vectra and i screwed up my third gear syncro all they did was reconditiond the 3rd gear syncro and it didnt do it anymore, but if u crunch its the syncro. but i have a crx aswell now and i put in a dog box so i dont have that problem at all
well if you have the money to recondition your g/box then go for itQuote:

"granny shifting and not double clutching like you should" lol
yeh i was going to have a Exedy HD clutch fitted but i was screwed over by the guys i was buying it off and then another dude ordered in the wrong part twice
ive driven a couple of cars with a very heavy clutch, giving you very little movement with the left foot, it just takes time to get used to it, dont just drop it, ease is out really slowly, then when you've gotten used to the clutch you can start to shorten and quicken your clutch work
