About to order clutch
Settled on this clutch:
https://secure.buschurracing.com/cat...e3475015ccfa54
Was going to go with an Exedy twin disc in the Spring but since my clutch is going out now, I'm going for a less expensive clutch that will get me by for awhile. My question is, are there any other little things I should get while I got this baby opened up? Someone mentioned to me in the past I should get something else while I'm doing this but I don't remember what it was.
Thanks.

Yeah i know, but we're buying a house before christmas so all our money is going to that. Thats why I was trying to hold off on the clutch until spring. I wasn't sure if there was something small should get before I ordered or not.

Not sure if anyone cares but I'm excited so I'll share. I ended up buying

instead of the Fidanza because the it would've taken 2 weeks to get one where as Buschur had the Twin disc in stock. Anyways, after painful hours in the garage with my uncle, we got the thing changed out. First thing I noticed was a slight rattle, but I didn't think much of it since I was warned that this might be the case. When I say slight rattle, its very subtle, not annoying in any way. It only rattles when I disengaged the clutch.
I also added the underhood shifter bushings. By far a must do for this car. Shifter feels so much better.
Pedal pressure is actually a little lighter than stock which is what I wanted anyways. Another thing I noticed right away, even just mild driving, you notice that this clutch grabs harder than the stock, which is another thing I like. Make me feel more secure.
My odometer says I'm sitting at 372 miles driven since putting the clutch in. I'm waiting for the 500 mile mark before I push it. I hate to say it though, I might wait till 600 or 700 miles simply because about half of the 372 miles was highway. I want to make sure I break her in right. My wife would kill me if this clutch didn't last me at least a year.
Next on the list of mods will porbably come this spring in which I want to do the stage1 package Buschur racing sells. Seems worth it.
anyways, thanks for reading and thanks to those that gave advice in other threads I posted asking about clutch stuff.
