Hey folks im new here as you can tell. Well I thought that in this forum I could get good tips for many questions. Well to start off I have a 1998 Accord LX 4cyl. Im in the process of replacing my clutch; but I want to replace both my clutch and my flywheel but Im not sure whats the best brand. I found one clutch in ebay by the brand of Exedy and a flywheel from Fidanza. Should I try Stage 2?
Any info will help. Thanks

Hmm. So basically it does necessarily matter what flywheel and the clutch I buy depending on my horsepower or the size of my engine.

Unless your pushing over 240whp/tq your stock replacement clutch will more than satisfy the need for holding power.

Flywheels help some but the gains arent a huge difference. 'I wouldnt wory about it unless you find a great price on a flywheel. I got a Clutch Masters FW for 190 /w free shipping for my accord.

Another thing to remember, HP doesnt break parts, Tq does.

Most "stage1/2" clutches will offer just slightly increased holding capacity and longer service life.

Oh. So this means that in reality any clutch and flywheel will do just fine for my car. Cause I have lots of plans for my car; such as adding DC headers, Greddy Exhausts, and perhaps buy a new Fujita Intake System. Might aswell just buy a stage1 clutch; Im hoping that does the job

Awesome! Thanks for the advices. So after all I should get both fly and clutch OEM? Or just the Fly. Whats the best brand? Thanks

Im still not sure about what Im going to do. I might just sell my Accord for $5,000 and save up atleast another 5G's to buy a Prelude. To make an Accord fast will take a lot of money and time. I was originally thinking about swapping my F23A1 for a F20B. Any suggestions of what I should do?

You guys do have a point. To save time and money might aswell buy a Prelude and suit it up. I dont know, its really hard to find preludes with a descent mileage now a days

I just found a '97 Lude for $5500, has 90K miles. I think thats the car Ive been looking to hook up. I am indeed selling my 5 speed accord, has an F23A1 engine. What engine does the 97 Lude bring? F22b or h22? hmm
