And yea im guessing the jump up to stage 5 PP would be pretty extreme given the torque ratings.

I'm a conservative wuss that sticks to known good parts, cause I don't like stuff like this

Given my recent situation, which ACT would you choose then? Im a man, this is a track car, but I dont want an aggravating clutch, and I want it to last.

I dont disagree with the sentiment, but I dont want to be your guinea pig for rotating components. Someone else can do that, it costs too much money.

the xtg6 on my '00 "worked" and would probably be ok for RACECAR
but I will drive an auto miata before I ever put one into a daily driven car again

why not FM? are they backlogged again?

This. If I were looking for a FW, I would probably just do a lvl 1 happy meal and call it a day. I like my 10 lb F1 flywheel.

I see we are in two different worlds, lol.
Me - willing to pay anything for a clutch that doesn't make you look like a retard driving in traffic.
You - the least amount of money for the absolute highest tq rating. if $50 for 5000wtq, that's IDEAL



get the xtg6 then.

9-10lb flywheel is easy to drive with a stock or stock like clutch. Not sure what a stiff PP and puck clutch will be like. Cant say ive ever driven a car that I know for sure had a puck clutch. 1.8 FW on the craigslist right now for $30. On the way home from work too.
