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 ) 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 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.

 

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