Default New Clutch and Fidanza Flywheel installed.

I got my Exedy organic clutch (60% stronger than stock) and Fidanze Aluminum flywheel installed. The clutch has shorter travel and is alot stiffer but not too stiff, it's just the stock clutch is wayy too soft. The cart revs up noticeable quicker, but now (note: it's very cold right now,too) if I shift hard into second from first (which I burn through) I get violent axlehop in second. I guess I'll need those motor mount inserts and front LCA polyeurthane bushings? Which is the best way to be rid of axlehop? Other than that I like the combination, the revs do fall quicker when you take off normally, so you have to be careful. But that's the only major difference in normal driving. :thumbup:

I'm guessing a set of Z10 radius arms, but I don't know if they make 'em for Civics. There's also something I saw on honda-tech... It goes inside the fender and supposedly reduces wheel hop. :dunno:

z10 radius rods, moroso/competition engineering traction bars or jimfab radius rods....any of them will help reduce it a lot.

How much do those radius arms weigh? I'd hate to add weight and make the car more front heavy. Anyone have the radius arms or motor mount inserts or full motor mounts? What are your opinions on them for daily driving. Will adding an LSD make it even worse?

jimfab bars are the way to go.

cheap too.
only like $300.

I'm running polyurethane mounts, and I noticed significantly less wheel hop. I recommend the prothane stuff for the motor mounts. stiffer, and you replace all the rubber in the driver side mount. make sure you do the rear mount also when you do your motor mount inserts. That rear mount is what'll help the most.
