You might have to use a stock flywheel if you can't find a ring gear for your aluminum one and reattach it.

so post the links to the parts i need. that would be wonderful. will it be able to handle the power?

How much power? How heavy is the vehicle? What driving style?

Well have u seen the irons im using. Well here they are. And I would say aggressive street driving. Maybe a few drag days. The car is striped down. anything that doesn't need to be there isn't there. no carpet esc.
Idk the exact power it would be but maybe 250 or more. who knows.

Looks like a monster bridge. Have you ever driven a race pressure plate before? Ever driven a puck clutch before? The two together will have bad bumper to bumper drievability. You said it's for the street and some drag racing. I'd say use a stock flywheel. That's what a lot of draggers do, plus it will make driving a puck a more enjoyable experience. If you can deal with a heavy pedal day in and day out, get the race, otherwise I'd recommend a street strip pressure plate because its pedal effort is between race and stock.

If I was to do this project, I would get a street strip pressure plate, a 6 puck sprung center (if I can find one in 225mm) and a stock 225mm flywheel. I would even choose the right rotating assembly in order to use a stock 225mm flywheel. I hope you know the differences in rotor weights and counterweights and all that. Drag racing and bumper to bumper would be acceptible, but I bet I would tire of it eventually and wish for a different setup in a daily driver.

I think I drove a race pressure plate before. A little stiff for my taste.

I tried a 6 puck before and it was pretty grabby. I suppose I could get used to it, but I don't like having to concentrate so much on clutch engagement as it tends to get tiring on a long trip

A puck disc holds a lot more torque than an organic disc so you can get asay with a lighter pressure plate if driver fatigue is a concern. You can either use a race pressure plate with a full faced organic or a street strip or stock pressure plate with a puck disc.

Looks like you don't want to do the research and would rather defer to my knowledge of clutch stuff. Bad idea. Since I have limited experience with your two component choices, I am the wrong person to suggest anything. As an example, I would suggest a 225mm street strip pressure plate, a new aluminum flywheel which IS compatible with a 225mm pressure plate, and a full faced organic disc (Racing Beat's HD disc). I see no reason to run anything else. And if I wanted a more tame daily driving experience, I'd opt for a light steel flywheel instead of aluminum. You can easily look these up on the Mazdatrix website. Sorry to pull a Sterling on you, but I think it's for the best that you learn this stuff yourself.
