I have a pretty nice ACT clutch. Spent about 1000 on it. I absolutley love it. 25k miles of hard driving, clutch kicks, brake stands, and hard launches and it still catches in the saaame place.

So all in all I had to pay 1400 to replace my bearings in the clutch and to repair the rear main engine seal. I got it back today though and it runs like a champ. I'll be there tommorow.

........wtf kind of clutch do you have?!!?!?!?!?!?

my 6 puck sprung clutch cost me 130.......talk about crazy money on one thing

and andy, my pedal is very heavy because of the clutch/pressure plate setup i have, plus the clutch was unsprung, which means theres no give, its eather engaged or disengaged

so heavy clutch + grabby as hell= a painful stop and go traffic...at least in the begining

just ask sebastian hahaha

Hey North New Jersey!
If any of you want to run your Sevens through twisties and flat-out down the straights, take it out to the $50Million Monticello Motor Club road-course Saturday April 24. I am holding an open track day at the lowest price you will find. This track isnt even open to the public. Membership is for exotic car owners, and costs them $125,000!
Being a life long RX7 guy, Id love to see you guys there enjoying your cars, doing what they are built for!
You can sign up at Trackacardia.com
See you there
Jon

Yea I had tons of problem with all of the local tuners and ended up going to Dave @ KDR and he got the car running had to redo all the wires. If you dont want to drive to PA I know a local guy that has a 20b 3 turbo RX7 with a microtech LTX16 that just open a shop at the ironbound with a dyno PM me if you want the number.

^ yeah man for sure.... we dont discriminate...lol
this thread is way more active on 8club... Its easier to post over there then to keep posting back and forth.... but us 7 owners post here every so often to let people know that we still meet up.

most of the people that meet up are the usual's.... so they show up every tuesday reguardless.

91 Mr2...... NICE.... my favorite body style
