In preparation for the added torque and power going into the 2.2, I bought a new ACT clutch that included a heavy duty pressure plate and the street disc. In the process decided I would also get a 10lb chromoly flywheel made by LSD motorsports.
After looking long and hard at the great DIY posted on this site for the clutch install, I decided it wasn't something I wanted to try myself. I took the car to the mechanic and $500 later I'm breaking in the new clutch and really loving the added kick from the flywheel. As a matter of fact, the lighter flywheel has made the car quite a bit more fun to drive and the added performance is much more noticeable than the V2 intake I installed a couple years ago.
I haven't really tested out the gripping power of the clutch yet, since I'm still breaking it in. Next, I'll be installing the new Walbro fuel pump

The clutch doesn't seem rough at all. There is a bit of added pressure on the pedal from the heavy duty pressure plate, but I actually think it feels better. The engagement is really smooth since I went with the street disc as opposed to a 4 or 6 puck disc. Like I said, I'm still breaking it in so I haven't really tested how hard it grips when I drop it fast.

Ya, I still plan on going turbo. I pretty much have all the parts, now it's just finding time to work on it during the weekends. As for the flywheel, I actually thought 10lbs was pretty light. It was the lightest flywheel that LSD motorsports makes for the accord. ACT makes one that's 9lbs but it was $60 more. I think Fidanza or someone makes a lighter one like you're talking about but I didn't really look into it.
Also, the lighter the flywheel the quicker your revs will drop between shifts. When you're boosting, you want to be in the higher revs as much as possible. Thus, some people say the lightweight flywheel will be bad for staying in boost after you shift. I personally don't think it's a big problem unless you shift slow and suck at driving.

Well my clutch has been feeling like shit lately, the engagement point is at the very top of the clutch pedal. It gets worse as I drive it more, it gets to the point of me barely being able to engage the clutch at all. I'm taking it back to the shop that did it for me to fix that as well as another problem I had today.
When I was taking a corner I heard a gurgling noise and I had abunch of water pour down onto my floor mat at the pedals. At first I thought it was brake fluid leaking from the clutch pedal then I notcied it was coming out of the consol and it was just water. I'm guessing my AC condenser is fucked or something.
