ITRCA

Time for a new clutch on the R. Good news...got some extra cash laying around and want to go all out with new clutch/flywheel and maybe a final drive. I dont want to spend more than 1200 for the parts. I have heard only good things about the clutchmaster 7.5lb flywheel, and will probably settle with the JDM final drive because the price is good and its not as extreme as the ATS (for highway driving). I am not too sure on a clutch but am leaning towards the clutchmaster stage 3. Let me know what you think, any advice i will take into account. Thanks,

Oh, and if it would help...so far i have I/E/H...the car will never be forced induction but an all motor build is in future plans...it is my only car so it keeps daily driver status.

Does anybody know a website or place where i can get these parts for cheap.

Thanks,

ADAM

I've been running the clutchmasters flywheel/stage 3 combo for ~30,000 miles & love every minute of it. Parts were perfect fit & easy to do it as a "first-timer".

fwiw - I was daily driving the car & I still go to track days whenever possible.

The 2 things you will notice are: 1) the clutch grabs VERY nicely but remains streetable 2) you'll need to start shifting quicker if you don't want to jerk the car!

I've been running a Fidanza flywheel and Exedy organic clutch for the last year. I've been pleased with both. However, some guys have had issues with the Exedy clutches on ITRs.

I've driven/ridden in Asahi's ATS FD equipped ITR and I can say that it's very nice. I can't comment on the JDM FD, but most people suggest opting for the ATS if you can swing the extra $$.

i have a CM stage 3 clutch and flywheel and let me just say that youll need to get used to the grab of the clutch, and dont even think of parallel parkings in new york streets or boston! that thing bites so bad i have to practice a few hours to get reused to my clutch when i used my other car.. it's a great feeling to dump it though... i have put all my hopes in high end and less torque and now i beat my friends stock Type R on first gear his front's at my rear bumper just cuz it grips quick even though he does have more torque then me now... so you figure it out:)
