Clutch work Saturday
So I finally started working on getting the 7 moving again.
Clutch and Flywheel, stainless clutch line are the priorities.
Also being done are dp ceramic coated, tapped for EGT and O2 tuning, 1300 secondaries, oil pedastal, FPD replacement, Pettit Hi-Flow cat.
Here are some shots:

A spec Stage II clutch and a ACT Prolite Flywheel, equipped with POS bolts.

One used clutch. Centerforce with 35K miles. According to Justin, a properly broken in centerforce should last longer. When removed, the "fingers" were flush and concave, the clutch was flush with the flywheel.
One stock, mildly used flywheel. Suitable for polishing and posting on EBay as a genuine RX-7 part

OK. Given the reports here of people who had forks crack after upgrading clutches, I decided to play it safe and install the new reinforced one. Looking at the old one, I think I already had one in there. The old part number, or the number cast on it was 3S2 the new one has 6E2 on it.

Here is a shot of the FC3S.org FD pedastal. After a year+, it is finally going in. Very easy to get to the rear mounting nut from under the car with the tranny out

From Right to Left: stock O2 sensor, DEFI EGT, tuning/testing Wideband O2.
EGT located high for temps, 02 located low for easy access.

i am about to do a clutch job myself. Do you really need a engine support? the engine mount is still on there right. can i just use a jack to support the engine if it does drop a little.
thank for your input.

Fortunately I did a test fit before I wrapped mine with ThermoTec wrap or I would have had to re do it. In your case, it would suck to have to beat on your new ceramic coating.

That is not an issue at all. This DP came off the car
In addition, it is a Pettit, not an Ebay special, so it fits fine.
I didn't coat it before, or tape it, and regretted it. So it was sent off.

It is now back
Err, and black.
Here are some shots of it
Cost of coating was 90.00, rest was shipping. This is the black, rated up to 2000F coating. They also do a silver coating, but that is only good for 1400F. Used for heater boxes and other things on Porsches, etc. This is the standard for headers, etc.
This is the guy that did it, and here is some info
Industrial Ceramic Coatings
This is an external coating only, but there is overspray, or whatever on the ends.
