Which flywheel did you get? And, did it have a 41mm center hub?
Yeah, that slave cylinder mod is really nice. More positive engagement.

Bump.
I ordered the XTD flywheel from Aimco on Ebay. It's going in with an Exedy OEM clutch. Hope the flywheel gets here soon so I can do my clutch. Slipping around town, takes a little bit at the same speed before it engages fully.

very nice, i think a good aftermarket clutch, and lightweight flywheel are your two best mods. i actually had mine done before i even had an intake or exhaust!
but i recommend the fidanza flywheel. mainly cause its even lighter, and the friction surface is fully replaceable fing02.gif

The Fidanza is also about $300-400. The XTD cro-moly flywheel (XTD) was $200 shipped. And it's a 41mm crank! Never see those on Ebay anymore!
I didn't want to dick around with taking the old flywheel off and taking it to a machine shop that may or may not do a good job resurfacing it. Much rather bite the bullet and get a new flywheel, even this one will be better than stock. Plus I intend this to be the first and last clutch this car gets! Well, maybe at 240k miles...
