I want to change the clutch while I do the flywheel but im a bit lost with the marketing hype etc (NB8B).

I dont have any intention of adding more power and if I do it will be mild (SE kinda power).
Its a daily driver though the city, and I want the clutch to last forever.
I want good feelings, and the ability to be able to lift my foot off the clutch quickly as im shifting etc. I dont mind if the pedal is more stiff I just want smooth engagement and disengagment.

Any recomendations?

Whats so good about \"premimum organic materials\"?
every ounce counts

i have a spare 1.6 flywheel (conssider this as an alternative to an aftermarket 1.8 fly, and save yourself a few hundred dollars at the same time). buy that from me, and then get a matching 1.6 clutch, it'll be nice and revvy and lightweight, compared to what you have now! :D

I finally got around to having the mechanic install my new clutch and 8lb Fidanza flywheel. I am suprised at how streetable the whole package is and absolutely love it :D Clutch release point feels as before and there is aboslutely no additional noises or vibrations. It's ever so slightly harder to get off the line as it revs quicker. I love zippin it along to redline now! I obtained my clutch package from the E-Bay user 'gripforce-clutches' in the US.

I also recomend also installing new upper and lower gearbox boots as it does quieten the cabin noise and heat a fair bit.
