Arrow ***Contacted Racing Beat Today***

Hey everyone, I've been talking to Racing Beat through-out the day and ask them why they didn't offer the Street Clutch anymore.(For those who do not know, I had a problem when I had the Racing Beat clutch, Flywheel and Pressure Plate installed). So I contacted them to ask why its off of their website and this is the response I got.

Just wanted everyone to know. I have much faith in Racing Beat and know their products are great. I'm also glad that they stand by their products 110%. I've talk to several of their employee's and appreciate their guidance and intelligence in their products. Hopefully they will have all of this worked out and I can have my Racing Beat Clutch, Pressure Plate, and Flywheel back into my 8 soon.

We found out that our disc would only fit with our pressure plate, not the stock unit. We had 1-2 people complain that the PP/disc combo produced some harmonic resonance in this application and we stopped offering them. (Since these are the exact same components that we sell for the 93-95 and TURBO II RX-7, we believe it might be an issue with another component, and not these parts.) We are still evaluating these components.

I had the Racing Beat Pressure Plate, Clutch, and Flywheel installed. All were Racing Beat. I asked them why they took it off and if they were going to fix the problem soon. I just received another email and this is what I received:

Since these cars are still so new, and the stock disc seems to hold up very well with the modest HP output of the engine, we are not rushing to undertake any R&D on this disc project right now. We are working on other disc projects and we may just include this into the mix in the coming months. Thanks again for the inquiry.
