Just waiting for spring to hit so i can put the stage 2 into my car... But just a few queations, how long does it take for the install so im not being screwed for labour? Is it a definate need, like am i going to be pleased with the upgrade, and most important should i replace the clutch so it can hadle the torque

 

seems like it typically takes about an hour and a half to 2 hours. depends on how good the dealer you go to is and if they've done it before. i was the first car my dealer did but my dealer is a really good dealer so they had a good idea on what to do. i ran into problems with the tune getting it to take so i was without a car for a few days. as long as you don't do it on a weekend you shouldn't have a problem with that though. heh.

and its definatly worth it if you want to keep the warrenty. big difference, car's a LOT more responsive and picks up a lot faster. well worth it. and i'm on the stock clutch, no problems at all. i'm personally very happy with having stage 2 in my car. do it!

 

do u just buy the kit and take it to them?

 

Right on that is what I want to hear, Im just hoping for all the snow here in Canada to melt so I can get it done. How long have you been running on a factory clutch? and is there any slippage?

Your opion should i screw a new clutch until i have problems with it ?

I think you can just buy the kit, but just how my dealer works they like to be sticky with warenty if you open it and screw around with the contents!!! dealer depends....

 

Wrong section...

 

screw the clutch, i have had stage 2 on for about 12,000miles and i go to the track regularly. no slippage and it grabs just as hard as they day i got it. i bought my stage 2 off of ebay and just took it to the dealer. it only took them 2 hours to install it. its like night and day after you do stage 2

 

1st stage 2 my dealer did. 2 hours or so. It ended up being on a rainy day and I still had a blast with what traction i got... well worth it. it'll rip you into your seat. be prepared to be bored racing the same old civics and crave something more challenging. it's a nice upgrade, especially for the money.

 

I've had stage 2 on my car since the day I picked it up. I absolutely love it! As for the slippage, my clutch slipped once beacuase I fucked up, not the car.

 

~2 hours for my install total (even though they kept the car all day).

Said they had to wait forever on the code to do the re-flash. I work from home
so it was no big deal for me to do without all day.

The poor young guy that brought it back to me His eyeballs were like
saucers when he rang the doorbell lol. First thing he said was: "Man...That car is damn scary to drive!"

I laughed and really scared the crap out of him on the way back to the dealer to pay my bill lol

I had to verify the upgrade ya know
