What's the deal on SPEC?
What's the deal on SPEC?
Hey All ~
I just wanted to hear from any of you guys that use SPEC clutches on Rx-7s. They seem to get rave reviews from the MR2 Turbo crowd, but this is the only thing I've found here:
->Click Here<-
I've read the specs on the Stage 3 clutch they offer and it sounds like it should be more than enough for what I have planned down the road - 230+ streetport 13B. However, right off the bat, one of their selling points is light pedal effort. Bah ... I hate that crap! I like heavy pedals. However, I'm considering it for financial reasons right now. I've been nursing this busted-*** clutch for 3 years now, but it's getting worse and I travel a lot so the last thing I need is a failure hundreds of miles from home.
I'm a firm believer in ACT (that's what I use in my MR2T) but they're a lot more expensive. However, if the SPEC clutches are garbage, I'm sure I can wait until I get some more money together.
Anyway, just let me know about your experiences.
Thanks

My Spec clutch shattered in the middle of 4th gear at the track, and took out many parts in my engine compartment, and cracked the rear plate on my engine.
IMO - they suck. Stick with A.C.T.

i remember when that happened ... 
well, that's all i needed, really. your opinion is good enough for me because i like the way you do things. i guess i'll just keep babying this one until i can get an ACT.
