I need a new clutch if I am gona increase my performance. i am gona be boosting my teg to 10lbs all day. and i need a new clutch. i can drive on the stock clutch in there now but def. not if i do performance mods. but here is a pic of my teg now, and i HATE these rims i think they are nasty. o and this pic os photo shoped to be lower.. its at stock suspension right now... and both would be done eventualy..

Since you say that your stock clutch is dying, then it's a no-brainer IMO.
Upgrade the clutch.

And in future, please resize pics down to about 800x600. :) Thanks.

Oh, and welcome to HAN.

but, no my clutch isnt dieing, i would need to up it IF i increase the performance of the car engine wise. the clutch is fine for the stock motor the car has 112k on her.

and how do i resize pics down?

Well, while I've heard of people that have put nearly 200K on the stock clutch, I'd still recommend upgrading the clutch over buying new rims. If the stock wheels hold air, I'd roll on them until you found a set you really like at a good price. But more importantly, the clutch is a critical part (obviously). When your clutch dies, new rims won't fix the problem ;)

As far as pic size goes, you'll need to use some sort of photo editor on your end, prior to uploading the picture. There's nothing we can do here at HAN.

Here's a good place to start looking for shareware programs:

The clutch is probably the best choice. I personally wouldn't think the blades would look good on a 2nd gen and if you are going turbo, save your money for the turbo and all the associated costs. The clutch can be done after the turbo, so keep saving.

First I would go with a better set of rims, you could get a better set of rims for $300 ( not cheapo rims ). If you set on doing all this stuff to your car to make it faster than you need to get a new clutch.

Clutch, then suspension, then rims.
