I'm running the XTD stage 2 clutch off ebay for $130 for the whole kit, only have about 400 miles on it right now, grabs good, alot tighter than stock for grab/no grab. I can't say much else though without having put some serious milage on it. You'll definately here if it goes bad.

im mostly just going to use the car to drive to work and back (600ml trip), but I want the car to be competitive from light to light. so i guess im looking for a mild performance clutch. Also does any one have a good remedy for stripped out slave cylinder bolts

Thanks Doc. Im thinking of ordering the one from RB, also i just had my mind blown. On the RB site with the steel Flywheel, they say not to exceed 10,500 RPM these motors are realy able to run that fast? How fast can i safely turn my stock 12a?

Don't forget to get all the parts for the clutch job which includes the pilot bearing and seal also. You will either need to rent a puller for the pilot or buy one. Also will need to either purchase a 2 1/8" socket or a Rb flywheel nut wrench. You don't have to buy their tool to lock the flywheel in place. In the 1st gen archives I put a thread on using a bracket instead. Also there is tips on reinstalling the trans that I put in that site also.
Don't forget to service the trans at the same time. I recommend Synthetic gear oil. It shifts smoother in colder temps. And also consider a rear main engine seal since you will have access to it when you get the flywheel off. And inspect the front and rear trans seals and the trans mount which seems to break over a period of time.
