my clutch is slipping and I am going to change it soon.. I am hesitating between the Centerforce Stage I clutch(and disc) and the Clutch/Discs offered on Mazdatrix.com(the street/strip ones)

I think I'm going to get the Centerforce Stage I though..
RotorMotorDriver would be a good source of information(he's got a centerforce)

What you have to look at is..how much HP your expecting,what flywheel you got...how much money you got to spend..

I havent seen any other clutch kits out there better for a stock RX7 set up first a first gen then a ClutchMaster stage 1

The clutch pedal feels close to stock ..but it grabs...its 70% over stock and the price is right..

But im moving on to somethign more hard core..

This is good for a stock replacement

Lighten flywheels just help the engine rev faster.
No HP gains..

Im actually scared to use it for drag racing even though some people do.

I hear horror stories of people getting legs chopped off'

I don't think that would be much of a concern in an FB as the FW is located infront of the firewall, I'd think it would be a few toes at the most...

I've been thinking about getting a lightflywheel for years now, I love sporting the 30 pounder and all but I wouldn't mind a change for a lightened steel one. I was looking around and found this package RotorWorX

For 650$ AUS it looks like a pretty good deal.
