Clutch-Stock vs Performance
 

Hey guys im currently looking @ an 86 N/A that is listed in the for sale/for trade section here on the forums. The car has a rebuilt engine with 4k miles on it. I was wondering how will a stock clutch affect performance on an RX7 that has only 10 extra horses (personal guess) over stock that is currently using a performance clutch? Cause the performance clutch is currently on its way out....any help would be appreciated!

A performance clutch would make a difference even if the car was stock. A stock clutch will slip more on the high end of your RPM range than a performance clutch - and also remember, it's much better for double clutching than a stock clutch. Money wise for a stock car? Stick with stock if you're staying stock is my opinion. If you're going all out then get an ACT. :)

Hey, where in Pasadena are you? When you get your FC let me know so we can take a ride down the 110. I'm in South Pas off of Fair Oaks and Oxley.

Now explain to me your definition of "double clutching" because if it's what i think it is it would just make your shifts hella slow. But if i'm wrong please correct me and the main difference between a stock clutch and a performance clutch would have to be life. The stock one will burn out much quicker especially under race conditions. Where as the performance(such as the ACT:D ) will take a lot more abuse and any other power mods that you would throw at it.

Centerforce Dual friction hasn't let me down yet. and my friend has it on his 99-Z-28 with gobs of torque. So far no complaints and a fair price and clutch pedal feel.

sounds good...ill spend the extra cash and get a performance clutch.
Sebring7, im right off oak knoll where lake ends and oak knoll begins, on fairfield cr. Hopefully ill have my REX by may, august @ the latest barring unforseen circumstances....theres another rotorite in South Pasadena, he's got a red 86 N/A.....Theres also my friend manolis, but he's in altadena :D PM me if u wanna take a drive anyway, or if u even need someone to hand you a wrench when youre under the hood ;)

I had a buddy who had and 1989 Probe turbo with a turbo upgrade and he fried his centerforce dual friction in under a month pushing about 210 at the wheels so I am not a true believer in the Centerforce but if it treats you well more power to ya but i'll stick with my ACT.:titty:

For a realivitly unmodded car a Centerforce would be fine but otherwise I think there junk, and would get an ACT.
