I hope so, cuase I just bought one!

yeah... i was wondering why fidanza would make the friction surface a little bigger/wider than the clutch disc???
how can i xplain...the disc itself matches up perfect with the f-surface on the inside...its just the f-surface is wider than the disc on the outside by bout 7.5mm all the way around...

make any sense?

damn yall make me want a flywheel for my 1.5L
I feal so damn left out ,,,
my clutch is 200mm also

Jeremy, did you swap transaxles with the engine? If not, so far it sounds like the F25M-R transaxle in our '99-'00 1.8L Proteges uses a smaller input shaft and flywheel/clutch disc than the G15M-R in the '01+ 2.0L Proteges. I need to call around and verify this cause I've seen conflicting information. :dunno:

I confirmed it with SR motorsports and Tri-Point. The '96-'00 Protégés use the F25M-R transaxle, which uses a smaller input shaft and flywheel/clutch disc than the G15M-R transaxle used in the '01+ 2.0L Protégés. I also found out that at least two of the motor mounts, and the clutch release cylinder are different also. The G15M-R appears to be longer than the F25M-R, so the engine in the '01+ Protégés appears to be moved slightly towards the passenger side of the car. This brings up the possibility that the transaxles require different drive axles also. If so, a transaxle swap would require more parts than an engine swap. Damn, anyone with a '01+ 2.0L want to buy a brand new Fidanza 9lbs aluminum flywheel and Clutch Masters stage 1 clutch?

where can you buy the findanzda flywheel anyone?? and how much does it weigh?

Try :

RR Racing

It weighs about 8LBS, and costs me $290. That rate was only from Feb. 11-22. I think the price has gone up now.

I have one for sale along with the ClutchMasters stage 1 clutch kit. I bought them from Rafi before I found out they wouldn't fit my '00 ES. They're both brand new in box, so I'd like to sell them for the same price Rafi (RR racing) has them for. I have a post up in the For Sale section.

UPDATE:

I will be receiving my Fidanza Flywheel hopefully Wednesday.:D

what about the venerable 1.6??:dunno:

*had to fix a typo

i got mine from www.ptuning.com - looked like all the mazda appl (xcext miata) are on sale right now for $350...

also, for you guys that would like em for your car, fidanza will custom make - it seems like somewhere i read they need 10? people to commit in order to produce them...their site is www.aluminumflywheels.com

How much would it cost to have someone install one of those flywheels, or how much skill do you have to have to do it. I guess by me asking obviously means I shouldn't even attempt something like this on my own huh?

You are probably right :D ...

It will cost the same labor as a clutch job would.

Trust me...you want something like this done RIGHT the first time.

I think the 1.6L Protege uses the same 200mm flywheel and clutch that the 1.8L uses.

Lucky dog. ;) I'm still pissed mine won't fit.
