Here is what I would like to know:
What does the clutch dampener do?
It makes it so you cannot feel the road as much, it 'dampens' the feeling of everything so to speak. A comfort thing, like soft bushings or something.
What will happen if I remove it?
You will feel the road more and feel more input from the car and the clutch will be much easier to bleed because you don't have thta place to get air caught.
Will it give power or something if removed?
No, but it feels better.
Does anyone have pictures or instructions on how to remove it?
There are 2 bolts holding the dampener (12mm?) a hard clutch line to remove (going from master cylinder to dampener, 10mm) and the rubber line, which is another mounting bolt and unscrewing it from the slave cylinder. You then replace that all with an SS clutch line. It goes form the hard line you unscrewed to the slave cylinder. You can either get a Nismo one (~$80) or a clutch line from the FC3S Rx7, that's 2nd generation. (~$20-25)
I just did this while doing a clutch install. Very easy and I used an SS line from an FC3S.
thanks.
