Which Clutch?
I need to know what clutch would be better for me. This will be going in my 88 RX7 N/A that I drive everyday. I also will be going to autocrosses sometimes so I want one that will hold up and be the best for my application.
ACT 4-Puck clutch for 86-92 Non-Turbo RX-7
The ACT clutches are one of the most popular choices for the RX-7. The Racing 4-Puck (ZX2-HDR4) clutch has an upgraded Street Disk with Heavy Duty Pressure Plate over the factory clutch. The HD improved disk and pressure plate provides a new torque capacity of up to to
343 ftlbs, and the pressure increase being 34%. This kit comes with all the bearings needed to replace the clutch.

I sure wish that I had asked the ? that you are asking.
First off, don't get the 4/6 puck clutch b/c you are not a full time racer. Some people may drive it on the street but it is not the best.
The ACT SS clutch I just had installed about 2 months ago. Hate It!!!
Low speed engagement is horrible. It shakes my whole drivetrain.
With my stock flywheel it make a chirping squeaking noise when I am releasing the clutch. It makes me want to shoot myslef and is god-awfully annoying. I know people hear from outside the car. The more load there is on the car (like a hill) the worse the noise.
I wish I had gone with PR Motorsports recommendation and kept the stock clutch. STUPID STUPID STUPID
MY 2 CENTS

I vote Street strip. The 4 puck is a really not accommodating with everyday use. With either one, I would suggest SS clutch line, and keep an eye out for cylinder demise if old. Just the nature of the higher pressure can cause havoc with old equipment.
i got a brand new bonez street strip for sale. it's supposed to hold more power than you'll probably be able to produce so you won't have to worry about slippage. they sell them on rx-7.com for 325.00 not including shipping. im selling this for 260.00 shipped. it comes with a new disc, a new pressure plate a new throwout bearing and a new rear main engine seal. let me know if your interested.
