yeah blew two spec clutches up. blew the rivets out each time. now I'm running a full face kevlar/carbon composite clutch master disc and its mint. but going 6 puck for the mr2.

the clutch is toast lol. NICE!

LOL! I know right?!? i couldnt belive it!!! they said it was kevlar faced comp clutch. Doc told me when i first got the swap to stay away from puck clutches... i wonder why? (besides the fact that at the time i was just learnign stick?)

Hi, do not worry about those cracks... Simply do not use your A/C compressor. I'll post some pics of my block, they are the same as yours and I do not had any issues with it. My block cam from an accidented Caldina... But do not worry about theses cracks. I'll get the pics of my block soon to show you. They are near the same as yours.

Ah thanks man! i found out the cracks were actually where a portion of a bracket that supports the turbo was bolted in. i thought it was the exhaust manifold. couldnt tell from the pic.

Apparently DEATH missed the part where there were issues with SPEC cluthes for awhile (i believe even itchy blew one up if not 2)
But a quality clutch plate makes a night and day difference


Matt are those cracks/damage done where the front motor mount bolts to the engine?

hey dan! nah, they were where the manifold bolts in i believe. I ordered a comp stage 2 clutch but come to find out that it was the iron man series (just a step above) today i called the place i got the work done and the place they got the clutch but to no avail. too long ago.

i am getting new clutch and throw out bearing along with the whole shabang because the pressure plate is messed up.
its a street Series Clutch Kit - Stage 2.5 - Carbon Kevlar - Includes a performance pressure plate, a high torque sprung disc with antiburst steel backed Carbon Kevlar facings, including all the bearings i need For aggressive street use and moderate track use - according to what i read it should provide approximately 80% increase in torque capacity -

make sure its a one piece disk and not two pieces with rivets. i don't know if they fixed that yet. they should have.

I will be sure to ask. what happened with the two piece specifically?
