eCLUTCHMASTER STAGE II Racing Clutch KitŪ is a brand new heavy duty racing pressure plate with 6 puck spurng racing disc setup can hold up to 380-450 HP and 60% more pressure increase over stock.

I have no idea as to what to do regarding the clutch. Just bought a mk3 n/a 87 and the engagement is harsh, and vibration in 1st and reverse. I think the previous owner had it rebuilt - dumbass.

As I would like to tweak the engine a bit at some stage to get a bit more power, but have to do some more research. Is this clutch too heavy for what I can get out of the engine eventually?

I have a knock coming from the front left on bumpy roads - control arm, ball joint?? I am a bit clueless. I would also like to upgrade the suspension (and brakes) as I am sure this one is on its last legs - HELP? What wheel size to go with afterwards? 17 or 18?

Sorry for all the questions, but I would like to do all the suspension and transmission stuff first - would be really great if I could get help or be pointed in the right direction.

Cheers! ;)

i run a stage 3 clutch, its a bit grabby also in first and reverse, but it sure doent slip under loads.. im thinking going back to the stock disk with this heavyer pressure plate , makes it a bit more streetable.

and i put my $ on your lower ball joints making noise, mine were also bad.

Clutch pedal freeplay is supposed to be checked every so many thousand miles, but most people NEVER touch it until it causes a problem.

To tell you the truth, MKIII Supras are known for their harsh engagement, it's becuase the clutch isn't a spring hub like on most cars (at least the turbos aren't). 60% pressure increase over stock might also equate to 60% more effort to push the clutch pedal down...definately a bad thing.

Smallest size that will fit is a 16" wheel, and some are better than others (clearance on the front calipers is really close). DO a good brake job on it, and it will stop pretty quick for such a heavy car. I agree on the balljoints, if it's not that it's the top shock mount.
