Alright, I'm changing the clutch in my 2000 Si from the OEM to a Clutch Masters FX100. This is my FIRST clutch install and I'm not sure about how the pressure plate is fitting up.
I have the new one positioned over the dowel pins and 3 bolts threaded in finger tight.
The pressure plate is not sitting flush against the flywheel, is this how it's suppose to be? (EDIT: I was thinking about it some more and I'm starting to think it's ok. You have to put pre-tension on the clutch disc.)
I also noticed that not all the bolts are threading in. Three of them hand threaded in just fine but 2 of them are not. The holes are not lining up perfectly. I'm not sure if this will correct itself once I start torqueing it down.
If anyone can confirm or offer any help would be greatly appreciated.

Slowly getting there. The transmission is all bolted back up, all I need to do now is get the front suspension put back together and put in fresh tranny fluid.
The pedal feel is much stiffer than stock, which I was expecting. It was a little stiffer than I thought it was going to be, but not too bad.
I also need to adjust my clutch pedal. The disengagement/engagement point is barely off the floor. The stock point was closer to the middle of the travel distance.
