M-pact clutch discs any good?
So as I have been visiting my parents my Firebird is staring me in the face. After it blew a head gasket last year its just sat. Motor is apart needing a rebuild. Anyways the car needs a clutch disc as my rear main seal decided to eat my 1000 mile old spec stage 3. Yes it was a very shitty clutch. But now I do not have a clutch to put the car back together. So I was part shopping and came across M-pact clutch disc. There are a few different ones including a ceramic one. The discs are $88 plus shipping. Anybody use these. I have a spare pressure plate that looks new from another clutch that was destroyed by oil spillage. Brother split oil on that new clutch. No luck here.
I am looking around as my Dad lost his job and may have to move. So this car needs to go or get fixed. If they move there is nowhere to store my non running car. Its fine if it was running. I am still leaning towards a big fire pit but it would be fun as the daily driver miata could use a break.
Also any tips to maybe clean a clutch. I thought about soaking the disc in carb cleaner for a week. Think it would do anything? Pretty sure it won't but may be worth a shot.

I will look into clutchnet as well. Budget is almost nothing as I have been laid off. So just looking on how to get the car going again. Otherwise I may just have to sell it. Will suck as its the first car I bought.
