I have recently, the sports one. It's a great clutch and value for money. I've only done about 1,000kms. I have installed it with the racing beat lightened flywheel

The Mazda RX8 clutch kit from AUTOEXE is a complete sprung-hub assembly built specifically for the SE3P Renesis rotary. It covers every RX8 from 2003 to 2012.
Where a worn OEM clutch loses definition at the engagement point, this sports kit restores it with approximately 900 kgf of clamping load. That is around 30 per cent more than a standard new Mazda unit, while staying firmly in street-driveable territory. It suits owners who want a genuine performance upgrade, not simply a like-for-like replacement.
For RX8 enthusiasts, the improvement is most obvious at the moment of take-up in traffic. It also shows at the top of a hard back-road run, where a fading OEM clutch softens the connection between engine and gearbox.
With this sports clutch fitted, shifts feel anchored and the Renesis’s character comes through the driveline more cleanly. The complete clutch assembly is also available to combine with an AUTOEXE lightened flywheel; ask the team for details.
Renewing the disc and pressure plate is the right moment to address the full actuation path. The AUTOEXE Nappa Leather Gearknob (Round Shape, Red Stitch) completes the shift experience with a tactile cabin upgrade that pairs naturally with this clutch refresh. The R-MAGIC Super Magnetic Gearbox Drain Plug is a sensible addition at the same service interval. It pulls ferrous particles from the gearbox oil, keeping the transmission in good condition.

Yes, the AUTOEXE Sports Clutch Kit is a direct-fit replacement covering all RX8 models from Series 1 (2003-2008) through to Series 2 (2009-2012) with no modification required.
It is designed with street-biased driveability in mind. The clamping force is stronger than worn factory hardware, but pedal weight remains manageable for everyday use, unlike a full race clutch which typically demands significantly heavier effort.
The AUTOEXE kit delivers stronger clamping force and improved heat resistance compared to worn factory hardware. It is also calibrated specifically for the Renesis rotary engine's characteristics rather than being adapted from a generic passenger-car unit, which means engagement feel is matched to how the rotary actually delivers its power.
Yes. The improved clamping force and Renesis-specific calibration produce a cleaner, more defined take-up point from the moment of installation. The difference is particularly noticeable during low-speed manoeuvres and during harder driving on back roads.
It is worth inspecting the hydraulic actuation side while the clutch is out. Replacing the clutch slave cylinder at the same time keeps the entire system in known condition and avoids having to revisit the job shortly after if the old cylinder fails.
The kit incorporates improved heat resistance in the friction and pressure-plate assembly, which helps it maintain consistent performance during repeated spirited driving rather than softening as temperatures build.
Based on the available product information, this is sold as a clutch kit. It is always worth confirming with the retailer whether a separate flywheel or release bearing is required for your specific build before ordering.
