Unless you are a clutch ABUSER! And you can have a S/C and take full advantage of the car WITHOUT being a clutch abuser.

I think this statement is pretty borderline!
If you like the sound of second gear rubber... you'll have to replace the clutch.
If you ever drop the clutch on a launch... you'll have to replace the clutch.

The statement is ONLY borderline IF you are a clutch abuser. Getting rubber in 2nd (as you call it), if done right, and launching, if done right, will only marginally put extra wear on a clutch. JerryPetersen and I are both living proof of this. Both of us have gone many, many miles (Jerry more than me since his has been on much, much longer), both of us shift very aggressively and both of us do clutch dumps and both of us are still on the stock clutches.

I will agree that it is very easy to spin against the stock clutch if you have poor shifting technique. But allow me to say this again more directly: I am stating that most reported deficiencies in the stock clutch are a reflection upon the driver and NOT a mechanical issue.

Here is my list of recommendation:
1. Rear tyres
2. Clutch
3. 4.44
4. gauges
5. diff and gearbox oils-?shockproof
Other things are just for extra reassurance/tuning
1. VAFC
2. Mugen/spoon fan/coolant thermostat
If you are in my country, then
*****REGISTRATION****
This costs about the same price as the kit
