Re: Aftermarket Cluthes
City use is the worst of all, you use the clutch more so it wears more. My kms are for a big part driven on the highway. On the other hand I drove years of newspaper hoods with it (yes you read it correctly, paperboy in the countryside) and still no problem, though I always used caution when doing so.

well, at least clutch kits are cheap, at least compared with some other cars...
Re: Aftermarket Cluthes
My clutch still works fine but after some abuse it slips badly.. When I shift at high rpm's it doesnt grab as it should or like it used to.. I am thinking of changing to a D16Z6 clutch as they are slightly bigger so I assume they will grab much harder than a D14 clutch and wont slip like a D14 clutch? Either that or get a competition stage 1 D16Z6 clutch

Re: Aftermarket Cluthes
I think that might work indeed (but you have to put D16 flywheel as well).
