Default Time For Clutch Soon?

Yes, how s everybody doing these days? Hope you'll have a good & safe Thanksgiving. It's been a while.

My question is I'm bout to get a clutch hopefully after X Mas. I plan on going with a Exedy stage 1. As for flywheel I'd like to stay oem. Now I was curious could I use a stock ITR flywheel no mods. I was just curious. What brand Gsr or ITR flywheel do I buy. This place I called said they have a Ryan Opack flywheel.
Is this good?
When did they redo H/A. It look good.
Thanks

When I did mine 4 years ago, I used the Exedy stage 1 and a Fidanza flywheel.

Gsrracer95, when you switched to the fidanza did you lose any performance? I heard of people actually saying you lose some perormance with a lighted flywheel.
I just want some opinions on that. I am going with a exedy stage 1 when ready

The engine seemed to rev quicker due to less rotating mass, but I didn't feel any performance loss and my times at the track got a hair better.

Default Update about Gsr clutch..

Well, I finally was able to get my clutch thanks to playing the 3 digit lottery. So
I went on and got the exedy stage 1 clutch, oem flywheel from olympic auto parts & had to replace my slve cyl 2.
What was surprising was ordered my clutch this Tue. past around 10 AM & was @ my door Wed eve. I just had clutch installed this morning.
My oem clutch with 195K 1 spring had burst.She feel pretty good now. It's been sitting since b4 X Mas.

Glad to hear you got it back on the road. Good call on replacing the slave at the same time. I did the same thing.
