need new clutch
+1 for act. Personally I have to have an organic, non puck, sprung disk. can't stand shudder, and like to slip engagement. the act pressure plates make it easy to run organic, either HD for mid level or xt for high power, you won't have a problem.
I've heard vague rumblings about act to bearings, so just go with mazda oem.

In his glove box actually
Tim tuned an '03 S4 with a 3" exhaust today. The car's set up: GT2860RS Internally gated, IC #2, 2.75" Downpipe, 3" Mid pipe (no cat), and 3" Left Exit Exhaust. Other mods are minor and of no consequence, oil catch can, powder coating etc... Owner is going the forged internal route this summer, so we tuned for 13 psi as requested.
Results: 272.46 rwhp, 235.50 ft-lbs. @ 13 psi. Correction factor: STD 1.03 as calculated by the weather station.
Best numbers done with the Xede unit on a Miata so far.

Wow, I'm gonna be ordering my clutch from the states when the stock one ****'s out. The cheapest 6 puck clutch in the UK is about £300 near as makes no difference $600!!
F1racing stage 3 FTW. It's so cheap I dont care if it only lasts a year

and here is my TO that came apart on mine. but replaced that and all has been great.
Having cahnged Scott's clutch something like 3 times I have to say do not cheap out. I went with an ACT clutch when I needed a new one and it worked the first time. As opposed to Scott who went with a strange *** clutchnet combo and we had to do it multiple times. After that experience I will never buy other then ACT personally.
yeah yeah yeah.
centerforce DF PP + clutchnet 6-puck = fail
clutchnet 2x PP + clutchnet 6-puck = fail
clutchnet 2x PP + shims + clutchnet 6-puck = fail
ACT HDD PP + clutchnet 6-puck = win
suffice to say, a clutch job is now very easy.

I havent swapped my clutch yet, but when I do it will be for an ACT XTSS.
Right now im running 10psi on the stock clutch and interestingly enough it holds in any gear to redline, unless I misshift into fifth and floor it.
