So are you talking about sticking in a new disc with the ACT plate you have or replacing both?

So, after a quick two hours at a very relaxed pace of work, the motor (spun bearing? to be replaced with a used motor) and transmission are out. The transmission is separated and the feared to be unknown piece of junk clutch (everything else on the car that the prior owner installed was junk) is exposed to be... An ACT XT model MZ014X! :) ...with a 6-puck solid hub clutch (bad for street driving) :( ...with a torque capacity of 353 ft/lbs according to ACT's website If I get 200-250 rwhp out of my car when it is all back together, I think I'll be lucky. As such, the solid disc is not going back in as it is just not suitable for street driving. I'm thinking that a $40-50 stock Exedy disc is about right, since that pressure plate plus the ACT "MM" disc = 277 ft/lbs, which should be adequate for my goals. So, any suggestions to the contrary before I place and order so I can get it back on the road/track? :) Regards, --Ashraf _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
