Howdy,
I'm the proud owner of a 96' Celi GT hatchback. Just passed 80k on the mileage and it needs a new clutch. I'm considering whether to go with the stock OEM clutch kit or to swap to a stage I aftermarket clutch (Exedy, ACT, Clutchmaster). Currently, I have only a CAI, but will install the following parts soon (next year or so): Pacesetter Header Magnaflow Hi-Flow Cat Custom 2.5" piping Bomz Teardrop Exhaust Now, the real question is whether the extra cash for an aftermarket clutch is worth it. I've read from these forums that the OEM clutch should be sufficient. I'm also thinking that the Stage I clutch may be longer lasting due to its increased strength. Perhaps the extra $100 might be justified by the extra mileage off the clutch? Let me know what you fellow 6C'ers think. Sincerely, Ed |

Mine went to 180k, and I taught a few people to drive on mine... One day I just noticed the rpm needle take off, and the speedometer wasn't moving, and then it caught on. I was wondering myself, but when it happened, I was like, "there it goes..."
