I was going to install my act clutch, but thought I would just save up for a flywheel and do it all together.
What flywheel are you guys using for the 5sfe?
if your looking for a lightend flywheel, fidanza makes one, they usually go about 300.

Thanks guys, My celi has been sitting in my garage for two months now. I miss it!!!!!!!! thank god for a back-up vehicle! i guess i'll save for the flywheel now.
Manny, Any specific reasoning behind not changing your flywheel to a lighter one?

Anybody see any concerns with going to an aluminum flywheel (ie. shattering), or would it be best to stick to steel or possibly look into a chromoly one?

Any advice on flywheels would be appreciated. I am also considering changing my flywheel, but am unfamiliar with exeriences and problems of flywheels.

the aluminum flywheel is just the outer ring, the friction surface is steel.

about 265$ is the reason i didnt get a lightend flywheel.
it cost me 35$ to have my stock one resurfaced, a lightend one is about 300 wink.gif
