Flywheel/Clutch Recommendations?
 

Anyone have any idea where I can get a good lightweight flywheel & heavy duty racing clutch? Also, if anyone has information on what weight flywheel to get for better acceleration and if anyone has one please tell me how it feels. I want to know if I will feel a difference before I drop a load of cash...
Thanks all! :bounce:

cloppety-clop,cloppety-clop...heading the Moderators off at the pass....Do a search!!

I'd wait for clutchmasters, just my opinion

oh...
 

you mean wait for this one....

...that's been out and about for quote some time!?! this fits the trannies on 2.0l 2001+ pros. the obvious choice of flywheel would be the fidanza they have in their kits. $500 is not bad at all for these kits.

So I assume the Fidanza Flywheel is about 9 pounds like the Mazda Motorsports one? I just emailed RR racing about it, I guess I will find out. Sounds like a plan once my clutch starts to go. :cool:

doh, so much for relying on shops for info:rolleyes:

you da man:o :D

go with the clutchmasters

Just for sh!ts and giggles I called up my dealer and asked him how much it would cost to do a clutch replacement. After labor and parts it costs $800 before taxes!! Damn! Talk about taking an arm and a leg! :rant:

With $800 I could get the Fidanza Flywheel/Clutchmaster clutch kit, and for an extra $100 (which would pay for the tax/shipping on both) I could get the Injen CAI!

Then all I would have to do is buy my buddy who works at an auto shop a case of beer to use the shop lift and shop tools. The case which we will no doubt consume during the process. :chug:

"Hi, its about 9 lbs. I have clutches and flywheels in stock for the 2.0L

Rafi"

Got the email back. Looks like the Fidanza flywheel is 9 lbs. Half the weight of the stock 2001 ES 2.0 flywheel.

that is correct. the MMS one is 15 lbs., only 3 lbs. lighter than stock.... kind of a waste of money if you ask me. [no dis intended to those who have it.]

I purchased the Fidanza flywheel and ClutchMasters stage 1 clutch kit from Rafi a while back before we found out it wouldn't fit the smaller F type transaxle in the '99-'00 Protege's bellhousing. The parts look great and the Fidanza flywheel is definately lighter than the MazdaSpeed chromoly flywheel since it is aluminum. I still have the pair brand new in the original boxes if anyone's interested.

Hey eric. I'm interested in your clutch and flywheel.. As long as it is for the 2.0 email me at JSTUBBS@ec.rr.com with info and price...thanks man!:D
