is the clutch pressure rating for static friction or moving?

Yeah, you can re-use an old pressure plate as long as it's not damaged.

the clutch surface area is bigger (200mm vs 212/220mm), im thinking that the clutch PP and flywheels are not bigger them selfs (overall diamiter). anyway what i was thinking was i can score a ACT HD PP (off an 88) for cheap (probly free) and just get a new disc and T.O. bearing from shmucks...

btw i have a 90-91 DX tranny/clutch setup in my car...

I'm running an Exedy clutch. I have had it for about three years now. I beat the living ---- out of it day after day. I don't think it holds up well to boost, but this is after 3 years of tearing it up. Its finaly starting to loosen up, but it has held up through some rough ----. For the $ I would say its worth it. Oh yeah, I also gave it like a 1/2 mile break in period. ;D I can still light the tires up shifting into third.

you said it doesnt hold up to boost? do you run boost?

Re:whats that smell? eww its the clutch...
 
Well, yeah. I mean after all this time it isn't holding up to boost. I'm not really knocking it. I can't say it is a bad clutch because it has survived me driving it like I stole it. I have heard from others that it doesn't hold up well under boost anyways.
