lets just be sure that mazda mechanic is only for once.

anyway, i can't wait to have some news from exedy or someone else about a new clutch package for my 192.

for the time im thinking of a new header and catalyst, but that is on another topic.

hmm, from all the post that I've read, it seems that ClutchMaster's clutch, even at Stage 3 (the Kevlar one that I want), makes Clutching even lighter than stock.

If thats really the case, hmm, if I install it 1 day (with the help of CRH of course!), plus the FEED big clutch release, will my clutch be tooooo light to press? I mean its not a bad thing actually consider the shitty traffic we have in NYC...

There's more to considering which clutch you want than simply the clutch pedal pressure. You want to either find the clamping force or engine torque values for the pressure plate. As it stands, the stock disc and PP are damn nice items and upgrades are rarely necessary at this point, even with F/I.

^^Agreed. My clutch and PP wore very well with the RB aluminum flywheel. 55K miles when I replaced it, only because I was getting the engine replaced under warranty at the time. And it still had 0.309" of material left on it. The only thing I don't like is the throwout bearing wears a groove in the PP. Maybe that's typical it just seemed like one day it would wear through the fingers on the PP and fail.

Here were my observations on my stock pieces after 55K miles (N/A engine).
