  • Who Makes the best Clutch for a Mildly Turboed B3

    Gonna be due for a clutch on my 95 Aspire, Was wondering who has had good luck with replacement clutches. Flywheel will either be resurfaced or replaced with an fms unit. will be changing the pilot bearing as well. Figured an upgrade may be in order due to the recent turbo project. Any suggestions welcomed. Thanks

      ^^ I'm with him I think you are going to need a spec clutch and a heavy duty pressure plate. give them a call and they should be able to hook you up man.

          too bad your trans won't hold up to that much abuse... no mazda fwd or AWD trans will.

                act clutch

                I've got an act suzuki swift 4 puck sprung and machined flywheel that I used for about a month....changed up to a g series with more boost! Held the power fine and wasn't that bad on the street in traffic.
                I'd sell it for $200ish. It cost me close to 500 with flywheel work and purchasing the clutch and pressure plate.
                I ran mid 13s on this clutch.

                  Ive been doing some looking and for the spec clutch their website only lists their stage 2 as the only upgrade under the festiva (aspire is unlisted.. has anyone used this one and know the differences between it and the oem. and is it worth it or is grocerygetters act better?

                  also does the spec stage 2 use a stronger pressure plate?
