FM Stage I + 1.8L Flywheel = great 1.6L clutch.

Braineack is correct - use a 1.8 flywheel and clutch. Since the 1.8 unit holds more torque than the 1.6 and the former was only used for 4 years as opposed to 11, we only carry 1.8 sizes. It helps us keep costs down.

Any flywheel in the 1.8 size will do the job. The FM flywheel is lighter than the stock piece, but that's a different decision to make.

is the 13.5 good for the street? I don't want to go up in weight I would rather stay the same or go down a little not a lot though. It's a everyday driver that I enjoy taking to the track on the weekends

Unless you are planning on making a ton of power a 1.6 setup is fine.

Which I have now. I love it. Unless we go with the new 949 stuff it should be following me to the new motor.

I'm at ~200whp and use a 1.6L flywheel with the ACT Xtreme clutch setup.

It hold perfectly fine, and saved me finding a 1.8L flywheel. I also got the clutch used and CHEAP. I should be good for well over 250whp.
