K8 clutch buy

Post by OutlaW »

The car needs a clutch, like NOW
I am going to get a Ebay thing, since no shop's with Mx3 parts here.
If it was up to u, what will i put in my car ?

1 - F1 RACING STAGE 1 CLUTCH KIT MAZDA MX3 MX-3 GS V6 at 91 bucks without shipping costs
2 - F1 RACING STAGE 2 CLUTCH KIT MAZDA MX3 MX-3 GS V6 at 139 bucks without shipping costs
3 - F1 RACING STAGE 3 CLUTCH KIT MAZDA MX3 MX-3 GS V6 at 129 bucks without shipping costs
4 - EXEDY NEW CLUTCH KIT MAZDA MX3 GS 1.8L V6 at 102 bucks without shipping costs

let's see this ... 2 brands
The exedy clutch i think its OEM replacement, but its a better brand and must be better than F1 stage 1 thing .
They are all from the same Ebay seller.
The stage 3 F1 is cheaper than stage 2 , why is that ?

if anyone can take the time to help out, i would be happy.
thank you in advance :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it may also be beneficial to use the KL clutch, since it provides more friction material.

Get the KL probe 2.5L exedy OEM clutch. That's what I am running in my ZE and it holds up fine, I dont break in clutches either, well I did for about 11.5km

The other clutches are crap

I forgot to add, not really worth getting an expensive clutch .. since the k8 doesnt have that much torque anyway.
