ok i got this 91' rx7 from a guy for 200 and this thing is weird!!! it was blown motor and i got a new motor for it and i just got the old one out so first off it has an after market clutch in it and i dont know what kind or who makes it so can anyone help me there? and then my front brakes are single piston 5 lugs and my rears are non vented 5 lugs. has anybody heard of that? thanks for the help guys

Single piston 5 lug fronts with non vented 5 lug rears are stock on some models. Nothing wrong there. Can't help you with the aftermarket clutch unless you have pictures.

Congrads, you own a base model.
Only the base model has those brakes.

Got pics of the clutch?
If the flywheel is stock, you can slap on any OEM replacement clutch kit available.

wow really i was told by multiple people that all s5 5 lug cars had 4 piston fronts and vented rears. but as for the clutch ill put pics up tomorrow butfor now the description - it has 4 loop things for the springs and its a silver clutch plate but besides that is nothing special. the guy said it was a stage 1 street clutch but he never said from where and i just want to know for the sake of knowing. thanks guys

With the exception of 1989 - 1991 models...
All 1989 - 1991 models have 5-bolt hubs, but not all of them have the 4-piston fronts.

Do you know if the clutch is bad? If not, why are you replacing a perfectly good clutch?

I thought that any aftermarket flywheel with the correct series counterweight (in this case, an S5 automatic counterweight) would be as compatible with any clutch kit as the stock flywheel?

RETed

Well, on the off chance that it could one of those "multi disk" clutches like OS Giken / HKS / Cusco / ATS / etc.

ah......they require their own flywheel? Would they even work with the stocker?

RETed

Yes, they come with their own flywheel.
No, the rest of the clutch kit does not work with a stock or stock replacement flywheel.

91 model cars are weird, theres an A package and a B package, each came with certain things, but you could also add stuff from the other package to yours, so theres really no telling what you have with a '91. I have a '91 with 4 piston breaks and other random base model crap, so it varies.

but i thought they got rid of the base model for the S5's and then it was only GTU and stuff like that.
