Gen1 3SGE new parts/service recommendations

[samet]

Hi Everybody,


As you might know, I drive a white ST162 with a few mods I have done over time including:
-King Springs all around
-KYB shocks at the front
-15x7 JDM ST205 wheels
-Pod Filter (Rice )
-Pioneer CD Head Unit with 2 4" Pioneer Front Speakers

Just here to get all your opinions and reccomendations with my current situation;

current clutch is at its limit. It is slipping to the max, etc. It is roughly as old as the engine I assume. So I need a new clutch, but which should I get???
On ebay, I can get the Valeo, XTR Stage 3 or F1 Stage 3, all for roughly the same price.
Which is better?

Also, I need a set of 4 Spark Plugs and Leads. I'm leaning towards NGK ones, but which ones are good and roughly how much they cost?

Those 2 things are my primary service objectives thus far.


Next appearance mods I am willing to do are:
-Paint my Bonnet Black
-Paint my wheels Gold


Please, knowledge exchange everyone!

i seem to remeber seeing a ganuien clutch kit for the st162 on ebay for a decent price, that'd be what i go for.

plugs etc NGK are fine or even genuine toyota ones.

it's worth checking out these guys. they're forum sponsers on ozcelica and often have specials and generally good pricing on genuine toyota parts. save's you having to wonder about quality issues with ebay stuff.

there may be some on here that'll take offense to a painted black bonnet on a white car. FYI that's 100 times more RICE than a pod filter.

hehe thanx man, but I don't see anything wrong with rice its a good thing infact

btw I created new individual threads on this topic. How do I delete this current one?

[jonathan yee]

prob better to keep this one as it has replies and just edit the thread topic etc.

you can't delete thread's you've started you just have to edit the title and put DELETE in the heading

I couldn't find a way to edit the title?
