Exedy Heavy duty will do the trick, and they retail for my cordia $220, should be roughly the same price for your car.

Highly recommended brand. :beer

rpm heavy duty ones are really good for the money (i can get u one for $220 inc postage) or the exedy ones are probably better, but for more money.. last exedy h/d starion clutch cost $290..

Has anyone tried a clutch for a S4 RX7 in there starion? There supposed to be the same spline and same bolts for the flywheel.
Hmmm Twin plate... :shock:

You can also get "Xtreme" Clutches from www.tweakit.net

750kg Clamping pressure :beer

im lloking at running an exedy heavy duty clutch off a sigma for a narrow block setup?

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 26.htm?p=6
one of those

is it likely to be able to handle 200kw or am i dreaming?

also wats the width of the narow block and wide block flywheels

i have two sitting here one is 265mm the other is 285mm i assume the smaller one is for a narow block and the wider one for a wide block?

Thats just a Replacement Clutch Kit. You will need at least a Heavy duty clutch.

Adelaide Clutch manufacture the Xtreme Clutch Kits.

With their Kits, I'ld recommend to get the 750Kg P/P and just an Organic Disc, but I think at the price they might charge, you may be able to get a better quality Kit from Exedy instead.

Look a bit closer at design if u sit in traffic and a stiff pedal is a concern.
The centerforce has stock-like pedal pressure and has been used on some powerful 2.6s... but the 240mm seem to have problems.
Series 4 rx7 use the same clutch as the later intercooled 2.6 240mm vs the older 225mm/2.0 staz

ok got quotes for two clutch kits from exedy for my gearbox (l200/sigma narrow box)

heavy duty option is ~ $435 nz
button clutch is ~ $600 nz

am getting them a bit cheaper as a good fella is helping me out

now id prefer to not have to spend $600 on my clutch, given i dont know how well these gboxes will last and i think that a button clutch may speed up the damaged process? so what i would like to know is will the h/d clutch which is just an organic disk with a heavier pplate do the job at 200kw?
or do i really need the button
