I got a new RX7 on the way from Japan (old one should be sold soon), 1992 S6, will be turned into a Pro 7 car.

Putting a new engine in (brand new), and also clutch and flywheel. Got flywheel sorted, but need to decide on a clutch.
Are there any that anyone would reccomend? Dad said his one is the best he's ever used, grabs instantly and doesnt slip at all, but he doesnt know what it is lol

Is Exedy any good?

Why would you want a triple plate? Pro 7 plus cars dont make that much power. Exedy do quite good clutches, or there are a number of clutch outfits in Auckland who can custom build one to suit.

Exedy are the highest used as OEM clutch manufacturer in the world AFAIK, so can't be too bad. Quartermaster make reasonable priced and pretty good twin plates - I've driven a FC3S running one at it was quite usable. As Mmm, Boost said - I don't know why you want a triple plate for a lowish power circuit car. A twin plate could be handy I guess, they bite REAL quick when you want them to.

240hp, not that low. But comparing dads old setup with single plate, didnt launch as good as the triple plate guys

240hp is less than a stock FD3S, and they do quite fine with single plate clutches.
Twin plate would be more than adequate...try Quartermaster as Lith mentioned, they do quite good units.

I know those stories about stripping the inner splines on the plates but they arent like that anymore.

If they werent that good the Nascars wouldnt be using them

And correcting my last post, dad had a twin plate, and the difference in launches was way better with the triple. Only bad thing with the triple is trying to drive it round the pits.. Impossible lol

Yeah heard good things bout Exedy, most of the Pro 7 guys use them, but wanted to know if there was any other good brands to try that arnt a bad price.

Yes, like every other pro 7 car is too.

I found launches were worse with the twin plate as it just grips instantly and spins the wheels. I found a little bit of slip is better

Surely the renesis motor would be a better option? And wouldnt an FD intake give better torque?

Nope, after dyno + track testing, S5 seems the better.

We're not allowed to use the renesis, they were going to bring it in for the 2008/09 season, but its now been pulled out for "review at a later date".

We're allowed renesis rotors

Interesting, though I guess NAQ applications are gonna require totally different to turbo ones.
Geez I'd hope you're allowed Renesis rotors, low comp NA 13B FTL :lol:
