Heres a link to a clutch and flywheel combo i bought a few years ago, clutch isnt too heavy and never had any problems slipping

Another thing to check is if the cable just needs re-tensioned though - theyre manually adjustable on the d16 engines. When i bought my coupe the clutch was slipping, lasted 3 years of abuse before i ran out of adjustment

Due to low mileage I started to suspect the cable myself. Will check it. Took it for a drive yesterday and im very pleasantly surprised. I did notice though, that I have the cat version with 122 hp :/ Can anyone tell if I can decat it with no fueling or ECU problems? I have read a lot about it but cant seem to find any true facts about it. Some say it will perform better others that wont. MOT isnt an issue...as for the pads, many thanx but atm im in the stage of gathering data. Will let know when actual upgrades will take place!
Btw, its a D16A8 engine - will check the codes for year.

Geo - didnt thank you yet for the link - thnx!
This a straight bolt on fit I presume? The only problem I see now is high postage - they want 300 USD for shipping to Slovenia. Plus, theres VAT and custom fee.
I was looking at this:

..coupled with:
http://www.tegiwaimports.com/f1-racing- ... nium-1413/
But since D16A8 / A9 isnt mentioned I think Id better send them an email...
Thnx again!
Best

Sorry for the late reply mate, the clutch and flywheel were a straight swap on my d16 sohc, cant say 100% if its the same on the twin cams but I know the gearboxes fit either engines...

Thnx for replies guys! Tegiwa unfortunatelly, wasnt much of a good use (terrible email communication) so Im left with further searching - so far, the idea of having a stock clutch and a lighter flywheel sounds as a very good (and fairly cheap) one - any other ideas where I could get uprated clutch (stage 1, no need for more) in UK?
Many thnx,
BEst
