Default Upgrades

So I've fitted my new Discs and brakes and they made a really nice difference.

Audio is almost ready and alloys should be with me in a week or so. FPK Gen II should be here tommorow.

All thats left is Exhaust, Clutch Kit, Final gear, And my Struts.

What do you guys recommend for Final gear and Clutch kits? I'm getting the supersprint exhaust and cusco bars.

And on another note how many of you throw the spare wheel in the garage?

Spare wheel in the garage for me.

How come you are going with a Supersprint? Presumably just for weight loss over stock.

Decat is worth doing.

Why are you after a clutch kit?

Final gear is a long discussed topic, simply a question of what you can lay your hands on. 4.77 is too great, otherwise, source what you can.

I have the stock 01 clutch and it's noisy and stiff I also seem to have to rev pretty hard to get anything out of it from standstill so I want something with a bit more grip.

Supersprint has a nice deep growl to it, I prefer that to high pitch and the Oval shape on them fits nicely + theres the weight.

I can get
Js Racing Final Gear 4.3
Js Racing Final Gear 4.4
Js Racing Final Gear 4.7
Js Racing Final Gear 4.9
Js Racing Final Gear 5.1

What would be best for some extra pull? Dont really care about top speed, never going to to that fast in the UK anyway hehhe.

Common choice is 4.57 (Ricks) or 4.625 (Kia) There are LOTS of threads on final drive.

Get the clutch fork greased, I bet it will be like new! Mine was stiff - greased it and it was cured.

Not sure what you mean by more grip from the clutch? Its either slipping or its not. A lightened flyheel is an idea, but I personally wouldnt replace a clutch just to do that.

You have to rev it very hard to get it to launch - thats not the clutch's fault though.
