Ok, so, my clutch is very much going south. I need a new clutch and want to get a light weight flywheel as well. I just wanted some opinions as to what I should get.

Flywheels, of course there is Fidenza, but what about the chromoly flywheels? Anyone recommend a certain brand of Chromoly flywheel they prefer over the fidenza?

Here are some clutch kits I found on ebay from reputable sellers. What do you think?

Also, If I go with the fidenza flywheel, what is the crank size, 35mm or 41mm? I have a 1999 Hyundai Tib FX.


Ok, last Question. I do plan on going turbo in the next year (fingers crossed) and have thought about a LSD swap. My goals are 270WHP. Do you think I need to get an LSD or should I just get better enigine mounts and maybe the gorilla torque bars? The reason I ask is since the mechanic is going to have my tranny and stuff ripped apart anyways, I would probably be better off having an LSD installed now, rather then wait and have it all taken apart again later down the road.

Thanks for the input ya'll! smile.gif

I'd of course recommend the VHR setup, you get the forged lightweight flywheel and a hell of a nice clutch, not to mention the new 1000KG clamping load pressure plate for what, 599?

Everyone that's bought it loves it.

That's how I'm goin.

*PSST!* Call me or IM me sometime f***er.

i got the ACT 6 puck sprung clutch with the chromoly flywheel from gripforce.. cost <500$ total shipped for all of it, and it should hold a good amount of power. 310+ ft lbs.

you dont NEED an LSD, but it would be nice, if you have 900$+ to spend.. otherwise, get some traction bars, solid engine mounts, and call it a day.. thats what imma do. and it wont cost more than 100$ if you have it done by a friend.

gripforce is a good seller, Ships fast, has a good product, and I had to call them one time and they were really nice

Im really happy with the chromoly flywheel from gripforce, and the clutch grips great. Set me back just under $400 with the flywheel and shipping.

REDZ: Is there a group buy going on? On kspec its 799. What do our OEM flywheels weigh anyways?

Thanks guys, any other opinions, Probably be ordering tomorrow morning.

my vote goes with the fidanza, mainly cause every one of my cars has one, and they work great. for clutch's. i recommend the south bend clutch. works great, and is a bit cheaper then most out there. stay away from spec clutch's though!!!!

REDZMAN

Let me know, like I said, call me.

I can probably hook you up brotha.

If the Gripforce is anything like the XTD (cause they're Ebay clutches), then it's NOT going to hold what it says. My XTD slipped like crazy with just a little more than 200hp.


So far the Clutchnet.com stage 3 is holding my 300hp/300tq. I would go with what is proven!



BTW, gotta add my usual plug to this clutch thread


SPEC CLUTCHES SUCK THE HAIRY ONE!!!!!!!!! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!! AND THEY EXPLODE IN YOUR TRANNY!!!!

REDZMAN

Holy crap.

You see that new 6 puck clutch on KSpec?

i would say clutchnet also with a fidanza flywheel. i had no problems with mine at all. the tib has them and my supra had them also. i was making over 350whp with the supra and the clutch held no matter what.
