replaced the clutch once
Well, honda clutches aren't particularly strong. But the motors are torqueless as well for the most part so they last awhile. I'd be if you put an act 2100 (I don't know what stage that would be) in an accord with bolt ons, it would outlast the car. And that clutch would feel like stock.

Most (if not all) stock clutches arent as strong as aftermarket clutches.
The stock clutches were meant to handle stock power, if at all a minimum increase.
Personally, I wen't with a Cluchmasters Stage I which I think is perfect for me. feels just a good as the stock with absolutely no slippage.

I'll have to remember that whenever I have to change mine... Right now, 163,600 and no problems either way (knocks on wood)...

True, i'd never agure that, but honda clutches are very weak. Not so much in terms of wear, just because of a lack of torque. But even in "spirited" driving, your clutch will slip more than most other cars on a hard upshift or downshift. They still last decently though. That would be my one main complaint about my honda. Sure, power is lacking, but i'm not dumb, i knew that was happening. I'm actually looking forward to my clutch going, but it will be awhile. Probably longer than i own the car.
