Did I read that correctly, 155 rwhp??? You mean fwhp I would imagine, since the Civic is FWD. 2nd, it only takes an ACT heavy duty pressure plate to hold that 225+ hp with no problems at all, and the clutch pedal is not that stiff. But sure it's easy to fry a "performance" clutch as you called it if you don't know how to drive.

As for 225 whp, it's hard enough to get that out of a high compression 2.0L DOHC VTEC engine.
