Calling all NA clutch guys
Well, the time is nearing to replace the clutch. I have very little pedal left, and anyone other than myself, can drive the car. I want to get something better than stock, but it needs to last. I am a clutch abuser, and I mean this seriously. Therefore, I am impressed with the stock clutch. However, I would like something litttle stronger. My budget is 300.
What I have considered:
Exedy stage 1
ACT ss(a little more expensive, but if its worth it, I can wait anyother pay check)
Looked at all the ebay clutches, buy I dont think I want to waste money on that.
So far I found the exedy for 255
the ACT for 320
IS there another clutch I have overlooked?
Who has used this clutches?
And is there any place to get them cheaper?(Hey I go too college, every penny counts)
Also, I saw a Stainless Steel braided clutch line on ebay for 30 bucks, will I notice a diffrence with this?
Thanks for any imput guys.
Joe

ACT doesn't make clutches for any N/A engines. Only for the TII, don't believe me call ACT yourself. Go with the Exedy setup & Centerforce makes clutches for our car(currently using one).

i bought an ACT HD pressure plate with performance organic street disc for my 86
i bought mine from http://www.prostreetonline.com with their discount code. cheapest place i could find at the time i bought it, though i had it picked up instead of shipped. shouldn't be that much though.
edit: $306 after the code so check for one with decent shipping.

But if you say you have an ACT clutch in your N/A, then I must be a liar or I just got a fucked up operator.

The problem is that I ordered two of the same flywheel/clutch setup. The first one from e-bay & the second one from a performance shop. I still have the 2nd set just in case the N/A turbo ever blows up on me.

I was using a clutchnet 6puck w/ an extreme HD pp which held around 400hp on an n/a flywheel, think it was about $330 or so. Should be good for damn near any N/a!

So I just decided to order another one & when I called to ACT & very specifically asked for the flywheel/clutch setup for an 1987 Rx7 Gxl. The operator told me that they didnt make them for GXL but they had them for TII & when she read me the product code for for the TII flywheel/clutch setup it matched with the one I had. So 5 months passed & I welded my flywheel together, used my old Centerforce clutch, & sold my ACT setup to another forum member that goes by the name of Truceb for 300$.

I also have an ACT clutch in my N/A, not a 6 puck but the strip/stip one. That operator is a moron. BTW I love my clutch, in fact I have the another new disk for sale, but you will need to find a preasure plate...

I also had an ACT heavy duty pressure plate with the street/strip disk on my vert (back when it was N/A). I loved the feel and it never slipped, so I would recommend it to anyone. I can't comment on how long it lasts because I sold the clutch along with my N/A engine.

clutch masters makes one so does act but i just put an exedy stage 2 in last week it grabs about 300% harder than the clutch masters did and it was like 150$ cheaper took all of about 4 hours out of my day to put it in
exedy is one of the biggest clutch manufacturers in japan i figure if its one of the best where the car came from its gotta be good enough for my car in my little town

my car has a centerforce clutch (bought it with it). it's held up fine so far after 7k drops, shitty shifts, and what not. but it's only been a summer and a bit, and i have pretty much stock power...
