Title: Help New Clutch
Post by: dwarfslapper on March 05, 2006, 11:28:28 PM
My mazda speed Clutch is starting to slip in 4/5th so i guess its time to replace it.
 I would like something more user friendly,at the mo i am running 300whp and dont plan to go much above 350whp so does anyone have any preferences on type/make.
over to you guys cheers
Paul

I think Dragon have a twin plate HKS clutch up for sale but probably too heavy duty for 350hp ?  :)

Also have a look on ebay for rx7 parts you never know mate  :cool

Contact Geff at RE:WORX.
The Extreme clutch I run is single plate and is the same one as in the 9sec FD. But ---   you put your foot on the clutch and it feels just the same as a standard one. It is the dogs. ( and the price is right as well ) call him you will not be upset. :wave

Speak to Ross at Dragon,he\'s just removed a peformance clutch from my car,which has only had 1000 miles standard work(no dragging or drift),Reason for sale is my major power increase. Sure he\'ll sort you out some sort of deal.
Cheers

Question, Your clutch slips at 4th and 5th gear?? Thats interesting..

If money isn\'t an option, I would get excedy twin plate clutches. i\'ve felt them in person and they are streetable. Of course if you are only making 300rwhp, I would just stick with ACT strip/street or Spec stage 3/ 6puck. Both are fairly easy to drive on the street with stock flywheel (but not with light 9 to 12lbs) w/ engine making 300-400RWHP.
