What clutch and flywheel is it?

Well I was told that my car had a stage 3 exedy ceramic. Well I was bleeding the clutch and thought I would take a look at the clutch through the transmission window. Anyway to my surprise the clutch is red instead of purple. Well can anyone tell from the pictures what clutch and flywheel it is. There is a little stamped insignia of what looks like wings. Then there are some other markings. Let me know what you think it is. Is there anything else I can take a picture of that will help me identify them.

Thanks

I don't know about the clutch... but WTF happened to your seat?!?

-edit- Looks like either you attached the wrong pics at first, or the forum had a brain fart.

Do you have a link the ones I found were yellow?

Also does any manufacturers use wings sort of like a navy wing pins as their logo?

The flywheel feels extremely light so I am assuming its under 10lbs any ideas on its manufacture?

Edit I found them on ebay with red pressure plates.

XTD clutches are on ebay and here is a clutchnet clutch package: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=451303.

I don't see any of the same markings though...

Well I think I found the winged insignia, top of link DK logo, Maybe it is an Exedy with a red pressure plate. Anyone else seen this DK insignia on their Exedy?

I bought a used clutch set on the forum and it had the DK wings. The seller advertized it as a Bonez clutch bought from rx7.com. http://www.rx7.com/store/rx7/fddrivetrain_clutch.html
Hopefully this helps.

So I finally had got another chance to look at the clutch through the inspection slot and starter hole. Well it looks to be an Exedy flywheel. The clutch is still a bit of a mystery as the pressure plate is red. Looking at the disc it appears to be a 6 puck clutch. From earlier posts and the pictures on the rotary performance's site it appears it coud be the race clutch. Does anyone know for sure who makes this clutch? Also who sells discs for the clutch? It seems the clutch is sold only as a pressure plate and disc only.

The wings you speak of are Exedy (Daikin) who makes the OE clutch which companies modify. The clutch is Action clutch. You can see on their site at http://www.actionclutch.com/PRODUTS%20PAGE.htm the same logo sticker (only complete). I knew I saw it somewhere before. I am not sure about the flywheel. It might be ACT but I can't be sure without it out.

That's what I need your right about the logo. I will have to figure out which one of these I have I guess. Any ideas on how well these clutches work? I have never heard of this brand before. Looks like maybe they buy exedy pressure plates and make there own discs.

Oh by the way it is an exedy flywheel. Determined that by the fact its steel and the slots and holes on the outside.

If it is a pull type clutch for the 3rd gen. then you can count on it being Daikin (standard or modified) because they are the only ones who make it and they have a patent on the release bearing design. I won't comment on the Action product because I don't know enough specifically about it and I am bias of course(work at ACT). I have heard that they are good people to deal with though.
