an na really doesnt need some exotic clutch...the factory clutch will handle whatever you throw at it under stock power!

i went with a new aisin (factory toyota)pp and an act full face disk....works great! anything more agressive is just putting unnecessary stress on the car.

do you think the stocker will still be ok with an intake, full exhaust, one piece drive shaft, and a welded diff?

yes.....the exhaust and intake wont make you gain power unless you wire in a piggyback or standalone so you can retune for the exhaust and intake.....i myself sport a lightweight flywheel and a single p aluminum driveshaft with an lsd. if you drive this car on the daily then i highly highly highly recommend you leave the diff alone and do not weld it!!! you probably have an lsd which will work just fine for drifting as both tires will lockup under load unless you have 1 tire in the grass but thats not relevant.

there is no need for an upgraded pressure plate and a 6 puck disk or equivalent unless you strap a turbo on or spray.....the stocker will handle whatever a stock trim 7mge can throw at it....7mge motors do not respond well to bolt on parts as toyota did a damn good job already at squeezing as much power out of it before haveing to go with boost...so yes your factory clutch will be just fine!

i ordered my clutch kit from a2motorsports but he is no longer a vendor here which is a shame cause he sold an factory toyota pressure plate and a act full face clutch disk for under $300 i believe and it came with everything you need accept a throwout bearing....
