Default Clutch replacement (thanks to leshiro99)

Just a quick shout out for my friend Hiro aka leshiro99. He just replaced my clutch and did a great job. He not only helped me order all the right parts, picked up my car in my absence, and did the job in one day. We are fortunate to have a good friend to the community who just happens to be a master trained Honda mechanic. Nothing wrong with the old clutch, but it was overkill from previous owner when the car was sold to me in stock form. If anyone is interest in a unknown stage 2 type clutch, let me know. I will post up in the classifieds later this week. In the meantime, I highly recommend Hiro for any future clutch installs for community members. He's good at what he does and fair with his price for labor.

The car feels great with the addition of some AP1 parts to put some life back into my stock AP2. Once broken in, I'm looking forward to running through the gears. I haven't done anything new in a while on the cars, so now stock replacement parts are getting me excited. Go figure!

Thanks Hiro!

Almost done with the break in period. The clutch feel great. Anyone with stock replacement in mind for AP2 I would replace with the following OEM parts. Easier to drive and car revs much better, no clutch delay valve, and no annoying aftermarket clutch buzz.

AP2 clutch
AP2 disc
AP1 flywheel
AP1 slave cylinder
OEM pilot and release bearings

He doesn't have his own shop, but he's extremely knowledgeable about the S2000 chassis.
He doesn't have a link or anything. Best to just PM him on here with what you need and see if its something he would be willing to do.

Good to know!

I'd like a full inspection and alignment on mine fairly soon in addition to some fluid changes and eventual clutch replacement.
