new clutch
 

Hey gang, yesterday my throwout bearing moved on to greener pastures, so since I have already paid for the labor of the tranny being opened up I want to go ahead and take this opportunity to upgrade my setup. New clutch, flywheel, pilot bearing, pressure bearing, the whole kit really. So I wanted to see if you guys had any suggestions on what kits I should consider, I do a lot of city driving so I am not going full blown like stage 4 or something, but it would be nice to get a set up which could support vortech SC so if I can save the money I could add that kit in the not so distant future. So if you have any input I would love to hear about it, clutch feel, price, quality of the product, any input you guys have would be much appreciated.
thanks!

ACT for sure bro. I heard they're top of the line ;P

ACT? I have never heard of anything good from them in the MR2 community. Something always fails. I even replace it when I bought my MR2.

If your car is going to be on daily driving I would just stick to OEM or OE aftermarket clutches.
Exedy in my experience has been good, as well as good rep in the MR2 community.

ACT for sure its all Id use, my buddies 500+ hp 240sx has one my d21 has one hella my dads impreza has one, from their low end to the crazy multi plates....they are at the top

FX300 or Exedy stage 2

ACT is what we use in our cars, all 3 of them.

Stay away from Exedy at all costs, can't tell you how many customer complaints we get on those.

ACT kits to go with are the ACT XT Street Kits.

My ACT SB7-XTSS came with the pilot bearing already pressed in the flywheel too. I got it from a Partner that ACT recommend that have it in stock. Hes not a vendor here so I won't post.

SB7-XTSS is rated for 347ft/lbs and its a disc with an extreme pressure plate. I think of it as a mustang v8 heavy clutch not a saturn clutch like factory BRZ/FRS have :P

Torque Capacity Over OE:118%
Flywheel Tooth Count:124
Disc Type:Street Disc

Pressure Plate Type:Xtreme
Product Weight (lbs.):26.2

Hey @ft86SpeedFactory, how are the ACT XT Street Clutch Kits for FI?

I had the ACT HDSS in my MR2, but I used an OEM Toyota TOB. haven't had any problems with it for the 2 years I had it until I got rid of it. the horror stories I've heard of ACT on the MR2 was mainly the ACT TOB melting/wearing out prematurely.

Act is awesome for mr2's. Not sure where you guys are getting your info. Always stick to the OEM TOB and you should be fine.

We're making 380WHP and 298TQ on a ACT XT Street kit in our race car. Holding up great and she doesn't see any miles that are not with the peddle to the floor. :party0030:

I had a puck clutch and prolite flywheel on my last car. Reverse was a nightmare and stop and go traffic made me wanta sell my car. Oh wait I did sell that car!
