Picked up my First Miata This Week
12 Attachment(s)
Hey guys, I just picked up my first Miata, and its a 2005 Black Mica Mazdaspeed Miata. I'll post some pics at the end of this post of it so that everyone can see it. Anyways, the car has a shudder when I start to take off in first after it is warmed up, and I've pretty much come to the conclusion that it has something to do with the clutch or flywheel. I have done several searches that all suggest that or possibly motor mounts.
Anyways, the car makes 185 lb-ft at the wheels and 198 whp. What would some of you suggest as a clutch replacement for this power level for a daily driven car? I would prefer something that has a little room for some more mods as well. I have read where a lot of people suggest ACT clutches or FM clutches. Basically I am wondering if anyone can give me any insight based off of first hand experience on the type of clutch you have run. If you could mention clutch type, cost, driveability, and maybe torque rating that would be great! I was looking at either Exedy, ACT, or FM clutches for less than $600. Thanks, Here are some pics [IMG]https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1360530706[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1360530706[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1360530706[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1360530706[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1360530706[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1360530706[/IMG] |

Are you looking for a clutch alone or flywheel as well?

This one is for sale haha. I constantly wheel and deal cars, and then I just work with them while I have them. If I keep it for a while I will probably put another clutch in it, maybe a short throw shifter, and then maybe take it to get a tune myself. It runs good like it is, but I don't know a whole about who tuned it previously or anything. I do have a dyno graph showing the A/F ratios, and they look pretty good. However, that was before the intercooler, exhaust, and intake were added.

I'm thinking I might just resurface my stock flywheel, but if can get a clutch/flywheel package for a reasonable price I will go that route. Just depends on what kind of reviews I can get from people on what they have used and have experience with.

If you were to search for any reviews, they would tell you to get the FM1.
