86 rx7 clutch?????

What would be a decent clutch for the rx7 above stock but not a really expensive one and not an extreme stage clutch? I have a 86 rx7 na! Thanks

What is not really expensive for you? Or, what are you looking at spending for a clutch.

Im not looking to get a stage 3 full race clutch or spend like $300 bucks on one either. Are those half way decent clutches from excedy on there? i had a napa proven performance clutch in there and i pulled the engine out and its starting to leave a groove now. So i dont wanna put it back in i mean its only got but like 3k if that on it and i bought its 2 years ago so theres no warranty. Thanks

I've been using the stock Exedy replacement for about 4000 miles now and can say it is GREAT.

I can put the car sideways in 3rd on 205's all day long at track events and to this day it has not slipped without it being my fault. I do spirited driving on this clutch very often and it doesn't give me any issues.

I'd definitely recommend the stock Exedy replacement to anyone that is looking to do their clutch soon and isn't looking for a full blown race clutch.

definitely look into the stock replacement exedy line of clutches if you've done nothing major to your car. OEM mazda will work as well.. just remember you get what you pay for so cheap might not always be the best idea.. especially when you gotta take out that cheap clutch cause its squealing right after break in period. (personal experience with ebay clutch)
