As for the signature that was requested, look below this post
It is a big job, see here for a good installation guide:

For the mods in your signiture I would recommend the ACT HDSS, just don't slip/burn the clutch alot and it will last a long time at your power level. Make sure that it is adjusted properly. If your on a budget just get the OEM flywheel resurfaced for approximately $50.00. A new braided clutch line is also a good idea and not very expensive.

An Evo clutch is a big job, sure, but having done a few RWD clutches, it sounds like you have some experience with cars. If you have the tools and the space, it's not rocket surgery, its just a lot of work. The Evomoto write up is very good and will do an ok job of making sure you don't miss anything. Any of the "stage 1" clutches from reputable vendors will suffice for your current set-up, but if you do decide to go ACT, I would recommend getting an unsprung disc. I've heard of a lot of problems with the sprung versions.

After thinking about it for a while, I have noticed that it doesnt happen in first gear, it happens in 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th around 3-4k rpms i give it gas and it will raise rpms then drop back down, don't clutches give out because there is too much torque or because the clutch is worn out because of worn? What is happening to me seems to be maybe horsepower is causing it? Or do I just not know much about cars.. haha

On that note for the ACT XDSS clutch kit would that be:
http://www.rallysportdirect.com/ACT-...-8-9-2003-2006
or
http://www.rallysportdirect.com/ACT-...-8-9-2003-2006

(Do the above links have the pressure plate and the clutch, but no flywheel?)

Also, this says it does not include the flywheel :/ So I need:
http://www.rallysportdirect.com/ACT-...-8-9-2003-2006
to go with it correct?

If anyone knows of a kit that would have all 3? (2) pieces included please inform me before I go spending all sorts of extra money, I would appreciate it.
