I don't hate FM at all and there are a few things I'd like to get from them in the near future but I have never been able to say they're the cheapest before (except maybe DotD). They have new steel flywheels, though, for <$300. I'd like to get one + ACT heavy duty. They only offer 13.5lbs right now and they still want too damn much for the ACT. I still may just go to Goodwin.

If they don't have it cheaper, I'll eat my hat. I got my ACT HD/6-puck with both bearings and an alignment tool from them, shipped across the country, for $377.

I will check on flywheel pricing come monday, I may be able to get us a lightweight steel flywheel for cheap.

I will let you know.

try driving a miata with and without a lightweight flywheel. I hate them actually.

I find my NA6 a pleasure to drive with a HEAVIER flywheel. I just put in the 1.8l clutch and flywheel and sure, it does react as quickly, but the rolling torque is great!

I'd stay with standard weight if you can get a clutch that will hold your power level and feel right for you.

BEGi may have them even cheaper...call and check. They quoted me a great price, but I also just sent them 1 month's pay.

I took my 9lbs. flywheel off for an OEM one.

What is the problem with them exactly? You're losing revs to fast?

My chattered like hell..and I didn't like it.

I loved how rev happy it felt with it, much improved over the OEM piece...however, it wasn't worth the RPM drop. If the a/c is on 9/10 times it would stall.

I feel like I should have machined the weight off my stocker, but didn't do it...I miss the lightweight and don't at the same time.

I hate admitting my inadequacies but I can't heel-toe. When I come out of a corner and off the brake I want the revs up quick as I come off the clutch. I thought a lighter fw might help.

they make it easier to do, barely have to even touch the gas pedal and your revs will jump to redline.

Sounds like 13lbs may be the best compromise.

I've got a 8lb SPEC flywheel in my car. I like it, but soon grew used to it and don't notice it any longer.

I really wouldn't waste the money on a flywheel that is only slightly lighter than OEM, but I may not be sensitive enough to notice/care.

I've done just that and I will NOT get a lightened wheel. I have one on my last race car and it was sweet for a N/A car.

i'd gotten used to heel toeing my stock flywheel, i drove an NC and tried to do it, about revved the poor thing to redline. stock just takes a big, kinda long kick from the side of your foot.

Have an 8 lb Fidanza on my 1.6 and love it... no chatter and it's very easy to heel/toe.

yah, i've had the 7.XX flywheel and ACT xt00 1.6 clutch on my car for about 4 years. with turbo, without turbo, with s/c. never chattered. it does add driveline noise. it has been one of my favorite mods. never any stall issues.

i have the 9 lb act in mine. No problems whatsoever and no chatter at all. Besides its not even my daily driver so why not go all out? Thats just how i see it. I really dont think i would do it though if it were my daily driver...especially with the 6 puck clutch that i have too

I finally figured out something on flywheels..

I have available 3 flywheels.. 2 are steel, one is 13.2 lbs, one is 9.9lbs. There is also an aluminum flywheel, but I do not have a weight for it yet.

I can do the 13.2 for like $265.. The 9.9lbs for $280.
