[quote:ef9b00b7f2]I'll look into ACT or Actions 6 puck clutch kit... I'll continue to use the Exedy flywheel with whatever clutch I choose (unless for some reason this is a huge no no...). Never heard of Tilton before, and only slightly on the Action clutches so I'd prolly pick ACT over them all if I were to order today since they're more popular in my mind. So definately a 6puck then huh?[/quote:ef9b00b7f2]

Kyle at www.wiredspeed.com carries both Tilton and Action clutches. He can give you the run down on both. Rocket knows the guys over at Action, so he's a good guy to talk to about their clutches.

If you don't want to go with a puck style clutch, you can look at Clutch Masters and Action (I think) for a clutch with a segmented disc. It's in between a full face and puck style disc. That should handle daily driving and track stuff fine, but ultimately won't be as strong as a puck.

When it comes to B series motors and Hondas, there's just TOO MANY freaking options for parts.

Yes very true... Hey first off thanks for the info. Honestly I'd prolly try out the puck style clutch.. 6puck sounds pretty beafy, but how daily friendly really is it gonna be? chatter chatter grab or more of a smoother stiff street disc?

A 6 puck will still be manageable for daily driving (a friend of mine had one in his '00 ITR). You shouldn't have any chatter problems, but it will definitely grab a lot quicker and harder ... more like an "on/off" type of action. The pressure plate will determine the clutch pedal stiffness overall and the clamping force of the clutch itself. I'd say my Exedy has the feel of a stock ITR pressure plate. I've driven cars with ACT HD and XT pressure plates, and I liked them both. I actually preferred the XT, but I like the feel of a really heavy clutch pedal.

If anyone around you has a clutch that you might consider buying, see if you can take that car for a spin to get an idea of what the clutch will feel like.

I've been using the clutchmasters stage 2 (dunno if that's what it's still called) for over 2 years and 50,000 miles. I've had no problems with it and have been very happy... just my 2 cents...

EDIT: this was on my 2k si, not my R
