Trying to get turbo installed....
I am looking for a cheaply priced company that sells after market clutch (looking for a good deal, who isnt! ) :)
Not picky, just something that can handle the extra torque form a Greddy kit.
Thank you for your help.
Your Neighborhood,

I will pay pal you 5$ if it is the best deal in the next 24hrs (5:30pm MTN AUG 10). Lol

I would PM "Charles R. Hill" (S/N is exactly as it reads); he will be able to tell you what would best fit your needs/price requirement.
And a little tip: Don't cheap out on important parts because it will end up bitting you in the @ss

the stock clutch can handle all the power a greddy can throw at it. the stock clutch can handle 300whp and the greddy cant make that. if your clutch is slipping, its just worn out.
i have a brand new oem clutch, $100. let me know.

I agree with kersh that the OEM clutch is well-equipped to handle the 250-270 rwhp that a well-tuned GReddy Turbo Kit is likely to produce. The only issue that has been seen a few times with the RX-8 is the Exedy disc has blown the springs out but, other than that, the factory Exedy is a rather decent unit.
If you insist on changing the clutch, I would suggest an Exedy Stage 1, ACT ZM8-HDSS, either one coupled with the BHR 9 lb. flywheel.
I have some lightweight SPEC clutch kits but I am not 100% sure about them just yet.

Hello,
My rx8 2004 OME clutch is finish. If I am buying a clutch, why not to buy an after market one.
Which one you recommend, I am not in to racing and drive a lot in the city,
Thanks,

Same as the above, contact Charles R. Hill and he will point you out in the right direction. His prices also rock, plus the metal throwout bearing he sells with the clutch is an awesome upgrade to the cheap plastic one!
