clutch questions
my clutch is starting to slip(85k miles) so i need a new one some time soon. i am deciding between ACT street/strip and a Stock clutch. i dont really have $$ for the ACT yet, but am afraid if i got the stock clutch it wont be able to hold the power for long. what do you guys think? how long does an ACT typically last? should i just wait a bit more and save $$ for the ACT?
my performance mods : FULL 3"exhaust, intakes, FMIC, pettit ECU, profec B running 12lbs
probably running aroud 300-320 rwhp

Don't waste your money on a Mazda clutch, just hold off for another week or two and get the ACT Street/Strip clutch. I bet if you don't get the ACT clutch you will regret wasting your money and not holding off.

WHen I got my ACT I think it was only 75$ more, so the decision is easy. the pedal efort is a littel higher, I hated it fo rthe first 10 mins, but since haven't noticed it. I love it, It works much faster for shifts and hooking up.

clutch
Definitely do not go with the stock clutch. Like a dummy I had a stock disc installed when I had my engine transplant done. The clutch has lasted only 30 K miles and now needs to be replaced. Especially if you get an early 93 production one, the friction material was crap. There was a TSB which changed to a more durable friction material and different part number for the clutch disc in early 94 production models.

the only funny thing ive expeienced is my first turbo can only get 11lbs no matter how high i set the profec. my boost pattern is 11-9-12 ( low setting) 11-9-14(high setting)
