Need a new clutch, any suggestions?

Think my clutch is on its way out.

Putting foot to the floor in 3rd, 4th and 5th the car revs up and then the engine slowly catches up with itself. :evil:

Only thing I can think of is it being the clutch

Anyways, Iv already got a stage 1 re-map so im just wondering if an uprated clutch would be worth while?

Or will a standard clutch do the job well enough for stage 1 (I have no plans to go past stage one, at least not for a good while yet)

Cheers

Looks sweet

Any ideas on the fitting price?

Is it that hard to fit myself?... Or more to the point, how easy is it for me to f**k it up? :D
