lets play a game (guess what came in the box)
- Thread starter GotTurbos?
- Start date
Ill worry about flywheels in a few months when I get a new clutch... its not going out yet 
*knocks on wood*
joe- butt dyno feels like: better low end torque/response I can definately feel the difference and there is no more rattle and shaking when Im going from a stop (and I mean just normal starting off, not launching or anything). The car just feels smoother and pulls a bit harder as well, I have only got to do one 2-3rd pull so cant really really tell exactly how much of a difference, but it feels much better.
no vibration at all, going around 85, havent had a chance to go faster yet so I cant say about up top.
On another note, you DO have to get longer bolts, thanks to jdub I learned in advance and was prepared.
Thanks for all the responses,
Jon

oh, and it cost me 405 plus shipping, forgot how much shipping was, but it was reasonable so just guess
well, I guess I jinxed myself... I need a new clutch and flywheel ASAP
recommendations welcome, if you're very insightful, a pm would be fantastic.

Real nice peice and no vibrations, that's great to hear, was thinking of this mod too.
I have been told by driveline guys that if it is smooth at slower speeds, the odds that it vibrate at higher speeds in very low, when I had mine balanced, they spun it up to 3500 rpms, don't know what that translates into mph's.
I just ordered a clutch and fidanza. Got the clutch from a guy that said it WOULDN'T chatter and WOULDN'T slip at around 450 ftlbs. New cost me 425.00 shipped. Don't want to start a flame war so I will keep the source to myself until I see the results, then I will post, good or bad. Can't see why mkIII clutches command such a high price. Decided to pioneer up a different avenue and use one that I have read no feedback on here. Anyway should be here next week, how soon do you need a clutch?
Another thing I wanted to mention was that I have read that the al ds and lightened fw don't really work very well together. I don't know from personal experience but would be interested in following your progress if you decide to go with a lightened fw.

I was *thinking* about a lightened flywheel, but im going to try and find the heaviest of the lightened maybe one of them with the steel inserts? Ill have to do more research.
I dont want to spend 600 on a clutch, and 350 on a flywheel, thats for sure
send me a pm if your source has one rated for around 600lb/ft or more (preparing for the future) or if they have one that will work for around 550tq that is reasonably priced.

were you thinking of running both l-f/w and al ds. I will call him tomorrow and see if he has something to fit your needs. Keep me posted on that al ds, as far as vibrations or irregularities go.
I will be ordering the ati dampener tomorrow, weighs 1/2 as much as stock, cheap, well not so cheap insurance I guess, feels a little ruff over 5k.
I will try and find out something on that clutch for you.

yes, I was thinking about running lightened on both. But I would be going for the heaviest of the lightened I could fine, and hopefully not aluminum.
Thanks man, If I can save some money on the clutch/flywheel combination, I could move along with this car much faster. Its actually pretty dissapointing for me to have to do this, as I was about to get some drag wheels and slicks
but hey, I cant drag with a bad clutch right!?
