at the start of spring im getting everything tuned, and fixed, along with the addition of a civic Electric fan. but i was interested in adding another mod. the lightened steel flywheel sounded pretty interesting. do you think if i have enough money, to get that, and hold of on a clutch. i recently purchasedthe standard clutch replacement. and it doesnt have many miles on it. the engine and transmission have about 100,000 miles on it. so its not time for a rebuild (and port).


i have about $300 saved up as of now. and i am okay with pooring every bit of money into my rx7, aslong as i get food and shelter from my perents

 

Judging from your Sig it would seen to be the most logical step and would really liven the car up. Why not get an aluminum flywheel, your car will rev like a bike. Theyre fine on the street, as long as your motor is tuned well. A stock replacement clutch will last quite a while under moderate use/abuse but just dont go doing any redline launches or anything like that, It will fragment. Well whatever flywheel you put in there you will have the oppurtunity to inspect the clutch at that time and make a judgement call on its condition.

 

i dont think i want the ride like that though. so thats good there isnt much else to consider at this point in time.

 

My lightened came with a counter weight. Make sure you get the right counter weight with you flywheel or it'll shake it's *** off!

 

on racing beat doesn't it come with the counterweight?

 

You in Indiana? Where are you located at? Sorry if its a little off topic but I don't of too many other people from Indiana.....

 

bloomington Indiana, you?

 

lemonade-I see you got a 12a presilencer for sale, would that fit on my 85 GSL? how much for shipped to 47620? sorry I'll throw out this smilie now before anyone else does

 

I'm in Richmond, Indiana. It's about 45 minutes due East of Indy. From what I've seen there are a bunch of 1st gen owners in bloomington. Do you see lots of other first gens there? I'd like to meet up with some other first gen owners sometime, but alas my car is not ready yet....

 

rotofire, the presilencer wont fit yours sorry, its for 81-83.

ive seen a few 1st generations around here but i doubt many of them belong to the club.

 

bump

can anyone think of a better thing i should invest in?

in the spring im going to get my exhaust fixed (gasket and maybe a flange), carb tuned, a tune up, electric fan install, and maybe the flywheel

 

a flywheel would be nice, how about porting the intake manifold?

or some exterior cosmetics.. like a nice airdam, or rims.

 

go with the flywheel i love mine... or maybe a shock tower brace, that could help your handling.that is if you dont already have one. oh yeah by the way the racing beat flywheel does come with a counterweight...

 

the intake manifold as in not internal engine ports? i have a racing beat upper manifold, i think its the upper, and the gsl-se lower intake manifold, i think. what are the upper and lower intake manifolds exactly?

good to know. thanks.

 

bump?

 

anyone know how long it takes to install one? (for labor costs)

 

anyone?
