    New clutch time.

    I need to put in a new clutch before the NG, and this is the best time of year to do stuff like this way down here in South America. What clutch do you guys recommend for an NA that doesn't get driven much, but will find it's way onto a track every so often? Also, can I do this on my own? I have a garage and tools out the a$$, the issue, I think, would be getting the car high enough off the ground to get the tranny out.

    Common Jack stands will get you plenty high enough. I would just go with oem clutch as it is good, and you are NA. You can get it out pretty easily on your own, but I would highly recommend a buddies help for the first time install.

    Help them, for they know not that which they do not know!

    nothing wrong with something like this:

    EXEDY OEM Replacement Clutch Kit FWD 05048 (05048) - Ninja Performance - Affordable Performance

    or

    if you want it slightly stronger than stock:

    South Bend Clutch Stage 1 K05048-HD (K05048-HD) - Ninja Performance - Affordable Performance Auto

    For me the fwd overpowers the front tires so easily I don't see a lot of benefit in going to a stronger than stock clutch.

    FYI, it only takes like 1 click up on my jackstands to get an AWD trans out from under the car.
