need new clutch (not really, just want one)
Getting a new clutch soon, I just wanted to hear some recomendations, war stories, or just what info you people have. Any info is always good info.
My application will be daily driver + track days + autocross (BSP scca). I have always leaned towards ACT in the past. I am interested in trying somthing new. Like I said, any info is good info. Lee |
I would suggest sending a PM to Charles R Hill. He'll not only answer all your questions but his company , BHR, can sell you all the parts you need.

I got an exedy stage 1.. the pressure plate clamps down a lot stronger than the stock.
So it does feel different but after about a weeks use i got the hang of it. I wouldnt recommend getting anything higher than a stage 1. Seems like it would be a PITA for a daily driver. IMO .. and i also purchased the kit from Charles |
Well guys, thanks for the info.
I am going to try an exedy stage one per your recomendations. It is nice to see that there are peoiple with usefull info in car forums again.:hahano: |
talk to BHR. they will take care of you. im very satisfied with my clutch/flywheel combo
|
Hey Ray, what is the difference between thick and thin pressure plate disks? Do the thin plates dissipate more heat?
|
wow,
killer info. to leemoshuffle i have a exedy stage one clutch. that has less than 10% wear on it. comes with a brand new bhr throw out bearing. long story. you win. send me a pm. beers :beer: |
Wow, thank you for all the info.
It is much appreciated. I may have not mentioned that I can hear thepilot bearing is beginning to tear itself apart. I know the stock clutch is pleanty strong for the app. However, later when i decide which power adders to use. Or maybe a 20B. I will need a stronger clutch. Again, Thank you so much for the info.

the 92-95 RX7 have a problem with the act heavy duty pressure plate, they will bent the fork or wear the pivot ball. I don't know if the RX8 did the upgrade on those parts yet.
you should get the flywheel at the same time while you do the clutch. |
Charles, would it be safe to assume you recommend the ACT SS Street Disc? My car is stock for the moment but will eventually have a few power upgrades. I'm looking to replace the clutch and pilot bearing as soon as possible and just need a lil advice as to what to get. Thanks.

I've been running the CenterForce Stage 2 clutch for about 30k miles now and absolutely love it. The pedal feel is about the same as stock but the engagement is much better. I really like it so far, it's a very snappy clutch which throws some that have driven the car off since it doesn't feel like it's going to be.
