No forced induction for me. Still a problem?

But this is going to be on an N/A car.

Honestly I wouldnt be too afraid of any of the steel ebay flywheels, the aluminum ones with steel friction plates added in, not so sure about those. The F1 chromo in the subaru still hasnt managed to cut my feet off yet.

I'd invest in the 949 one just to be safe myself. Then try a SPEC clutch. Something with a grabby organic.

Although I think the FMII clutch is ceramic, and I've driven one in Ed's MSM and I think Stoly's new NB has one. Takes a little getting used to, but the crisper shifts once you get moving are very worth it.

949 isn't available, no ETA. FM doesn't do 1.6 as far as i know.

Erat 01-25-2015 04:21 PM

My SPEC clutch sucked. Worst thing i've ever used.

concealer404 01-25-2015 04:28 PM

Wondering if a basic Exedy would be fine. Or a South Bend. I know nobody uses SB clutches on Miatas but i've used them on everything my entire "career."

I dunno. More shopping necessary.

What composition and stuff am I looking for if I put importance on fast response? Ceramic? Kevlar?

My clutch is orange, not pink, so I'm not quite sure what it is.

Next on the list of "Wants."

1) AWR 70D mounts

7) RB big front bar

We should talk ;)

Leafy 01-25-2015 07:29 PM

You could try welding some used brake pads together. Would probably be about equal to a spec clutch but for less money.

Godfuckingdammit i forgot you had those mounts. Send me an email at celicahalftrac gmail.

I can try to get my order cancelled. Ordered through MR, got hit with a drop ship fee i'm not super happy with anyways.

Ceramic. That's the one people describe as on/off. Like I said, Stoly has a fermi. FMII and Ed has a 949 colored ceramic clutch that's not a 949 clutch. Both feel great.

EO2K 01-25-2015 09:47 PM

Ryan_G actually has the mounts right now as he wanted to try them out.

As for the sway, I've got the big boy RB sitting in my garage as its listed in my FS thread. AND I've still got the M-Tuned dual feel fuel rail plumbing kit you said you wanted sitting on my desk at the office :laugh:

My FM Stage 1 feels great, looks fine after 2k track miles. Would buy again. Pedal effort is light enough that Curly can easily drive the car.

Girz0r 01-25-2015 11:32 PM

FM2 clutch & lightweight flywheel = fullofwin. I enjoy mine. Noticed rpms come up much faster during highway speeds in 5-6 gear in my msm. Will buy again.

EO2K 01-25-2015 11:53 PM

FM1 clutch + aluminum flywheel is also win. No complaints here.

Transmission is a little noisy with that light a flywheel, but I'll live.

aidandj 01-26-2015 12:00 AM

I too have FM with Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel. Like it so far.
