Just physics. Less inertia will make the engine stall easier so you'll have to modulate the clutch more when starting on a hill. It's just one of the trade offs.

 

i have decided to buy the Street/strip clutch kit along with the Prolite flywheel combo from rx7store $725 pack.

will i need anything else than that?

 

I believe it comes with the throwout bearing and clutch bearing so you should be good to go. Are you going to install it yourself?

If so you'll need a tool to stop the flywheel from rotating when you try to remove the nut and a clutch alignment tool.

BTW: I just wanted to post my initial impressions after putting about 350 miles on my new ACT street/strip clutch. The pedal pressure is a little stronger so it takes a little more to push it down but its definitely manageable for daily driving. I expected it to be more difficult to modulate but it's actually very smooth and linear. The engagement zone is smaller so it took a little getting used to but it feels great and the engagement is very positive. I definitely recommend this if you are replacing your clutch. It gave off a pretty strong clutch smell as it was breaking in over the first 200 miles or so but it has subsided now so I think it's through the breakin period.

Overall I am very happy with this clutch!

 

my friend actually got the ACT Xtreme stage 1 clutch and a rivet sheared from it, leaving him high and dry in the middle of the road, so maybe the guy who advised me ACT stuff isnt reliable was onto something...

 

i got the act ZM8-HDSS - its great - was the first mod i did to my car

 

thats exactly what my mechanic told me , unless you are going to put some serious power on the car - go with the regular stage 1 - or the bracket and mounts are gonna be history

 

i thought that the clutch alignment tool comes together with the kit.
Where can i find the tool for the flywheel to keep it steady to remove it?

 

guys about the flywheel removing tool :P where can i get one? is it universal for all mazdas? or all cars?

 

aham,, ok i will see it with my mechanic
