ACT Clutch Kits, Flywheels and Greddy SP2 Exhaust

ACT Clutch kits:

Quote:
ACT Heavy Duty Clutch Kits are ideal for street-driven Honda Civics that have more power than the Civic OEM clutch can hold. ACT Heavy Duty Pressure Plates provide a 20-50% clamp load increase, yet still offer smooth engagement, quiet operation, and improved durability when used with street discs. All the ACT clutch kits are SFI certified up to 10000 RPM.

Key Features:
Increased torque capacity, durability, & extended clutch life.
All street discs are designed for smooth engagement & quiet operation.
Pressure & release travel in the optimum working range.
Able to withstand high heat & abuse.
90 day warranty.

Civic ACT Clutch Kits Includes:

Pilot bearing/bushing (if required).
Pressure plate.
Disc.
Release bearing/throw out bearing.
Alignment tool.

You may find it helpful to look at the ACT Clutch Guide that we've scanned into .pdf format. This will help you determine which clutch is best for you. Note that the "OO" (Stock Street Disc) is being phased out in favor of the "MM" (Modified Street Disc) on many of ACT's applications.

For organic street discs "MM" and "SS" we recommend breaking in the clutch for 200-300 miles with mild engagement such as stop and go city driving prior to racing or spirited driving. ACT race discs usually only require a few hard slips to lap in the surfaces prior to normal driving or racing. Do not overheat the clutch during the break in period.

The spring centered discs are a new offering from ACT, and we are selling these in place of the traditional solid centered race discs because they are quieter and cause less driveline shock (which is why Honda Civic OEM discs have springs in them).

Flywheel Notes: A smooth, flat flywheel surface is essential for proper clutch operation. If upon inspection of your Civic's flywheel there are signs of scoring, heat damage or warpage, the flywheel should be resurfaced or replaced to assure good clutch performance. IF YOUR FLYWHEEL SHOWS ANY SIGNS OF CRACKING, REPLACE IT! If you unsure about the condition of your flywheel, we highly recommend purchasing an ACT flywheel with your ACT clutch. Typically, flywheel resurfacing costs around $80-$100, but it can be hard to find a quality shop to do it. It is usually almost as cost effective just to purchase a new flywheel.

ACT Flywheel:

Quote:
ACT XACT ProLite flywheels are ideal for road race Civics that require a very quick throttle response and instant acceleration. Most stock flywheels are heavy cast iron parts designed for optimum street driveability by soaking up some of the power from the engine and putting it in storage in the form of inertia. Although this may be important for transporting the groceries, this driveability comes at the expense of engine response and acceleration.

Light weight flywheels keep less inertia in storage but the lighter rotating mass provides significantly improved engine response and acceleration characteristics. Until now, most aftermarket flywheels for Honda Civics presented certain undesirable concessions to the user. Many are too light or fragile for the application, others have reliability issues and all are very expensive.

Finally, ACT offers excatly what performance enthusiasts need: all the benefits of a premium quality light weight flywheel at an affordable price.

ACT XACT flywheels are certified by ACT to meet SFI Spec. 1.1. This makes XACT Flywheels legal for competition when SFI Spec. 1.1 is required or recommended. XACT flywheels come complete with official SFI sticker and serial number as required for certification.

ACT ProLite Flywheel Key Features:

Preferred for road racing.
Very quick throttle response and acceleration.
Very light (only 8.5 pounds!), with minimal rotational inertia.
Note: If you plan on using your Civic for normal street use or drag racing, you may prefer the StreetLite flywheel. For straight-line acceleration, a higher momement of inertia is more desirable because it keeps the engine from slowing itself down too quickly. The ProLite flywheel is made for road racing, where a low moment of rotational inertia will lead to better lap times

Improved throttle response and acceleration.
Considerably lighter than stock (only 12.5 lbs).
Extremely durable and good drivability.
Note: If you plan on using your Honda Civic for road racing, you may prefer the ProLite flywheel, which is even lighter. For road racing, a lower momement of inertia is more desirable because it allows for quicker throttle response and aids in deceleration, which leads to faster lap times.

Greddy SP2 Exhaust

Greddy SP 2 Exhaust System in FULL STAINLESS STEEL! Greddy has redesigned the SP as a full stainless steel cat-back exhaust system that is similarly priced to the original SP system. The new SP2 features a 304 stainless steel muffler canister with extra strong 430 SS end caps that feature a deep, high polish. Large, high volume mufflers provide maximum flow with a deep, pleasing tone and are especially effective when used on vehicles with aftermarket turbocharger systems. The unique outer curled oval tip is embossed with the famous Greddy logo. Employing state-of-the-art robotic seam welding, the single wall canisters feature increased rigidity for maximum durability and life. With over 35 types of internal perforated tubes, each SP2 application is specifically tuned for the best combination of sound and performance. The new SP2 also features thick walled (1.5mm), polished 304 stainless steel mandrel bent piping for better resonance and vibration control and enhanced corrosion resistance and durability. New lightweight, flared and stamped stainless steel flanges are also used to provide improved sealing characteristics. The Greddy SP2 Exhaust System will initially be available for over 50 popular Japanese vehicles with more to come as they are developed.

I believe this is everything. If I forgot anything, I'll edit the post. I'll get the part numbers a bit later.

I actually thought you might have posted it, but I double checked before I posted it up. I was going to ask you if you were planning on carrying them so I can order and support 8thcivic. hehe.. :)

Did you write to these companies or something? I can't imagine any need to change the clutch or flywheel just yet.

Nope. I have sources...


Most people won't even need to change the flywheel, but there are quite a few people here who race or autoX, like myself, that would find this information useful. Also, with forced induction coming around the bend, it'd be a good idea to upgrade the transmission while the car is down.

Again, some folks here won't need this information, but a lot of them will if they're interested in the above. I'll also bump the Exedy info I posted a few months back.

EDIT: It must not've made the transition. I think I have the Exedy part numbers in an email.

EDIT: Nope...can't find it. Will add them when I get a chance.

The SP2 is a great exhaust. I was holding out for this one.

Isn't the SP2 supposed to be really quiet?

Dunno about REALLY quiet, but it's a bit quieter than the Evo2. There isn't a whole lotta difference between the two, but I think I like the tip on the SP2 better. Looks more finished...more of a stock-looking approach.

Wow, the sp2 looks awesome....i hate fart cans so the evo2 is out of the question. Looks as close to stock as you can get with a stock exhaust.

I gotta find the dyno sheet but IIRC it's the same as the Evo2.

I like the EVO2 but I'm a fan of the canister style exhaust.
