    What clutch to get?

    Since I'm going to boost my SOHC, and my goals are around 180Whp max; do you think the OEM clutch will handle that amount of power? (I'll use the G series tranny).

    It will handle it but not for too long. The ACT is a highly recommended clutch for our cars.

    while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

        I would not recommend either of those for an FI application. I've heard of a few people hating the Clutchmasters as it goes bad in just a few months. The Exedy is nothing more than an OEM replacement. You would not be able to purchase a good clutch for under $200......they tend to be a bit more pricey. Keep your eyes on Ebay as the ACT shows up there once in a while

            You know that Mazda dealers around the Chicago area are a bunch of fools. The parts department sucks balls. It is impossible to find a few seals without having to wait for a week for delivery. I finally ordered everything through Napa and should be here by early Friday. The new ACT clutch will go on then and the n/a head soon after......
