no i wont, but if your sig is so big it makes the screen a different size to compensate for your sig, i will ask you to bring it to a size that fits the rules. and you are right, i should have pm'ed you, but for some reason pm wasnt working for me. i have problems with this site while at work, and figured you would not get your panties in such a bunch if i mentioned it to you in a thread...
not trying to fight w/ you, so please dont feel that way.

You should decide on a clutch and transmission before you get a flywheel. Right now I have the BWM flywheel sold by Mazda Motorsports with a custom-milled counterbalance to use along with my Quarter Master 5.5" 2-disk clutch unit. Unfortunately, I am still looking for a good transmission, so I don't know if I will be able to retain this excellent setup. On the good side, the BWM flywheel ring gear is easily removable so at least there is a little leeway for different transmissions.

Thats probably good advice, but I'm going to be running my stock transmission for now. So, I know that I'll need an S5 flywheel. I may continue to run the S5 gearbox, but with the guru racing dog gears straight cut set inside... I'm trying to contact them about the gear's strength ability and what not... Besides, if I decide to go with a Gforce tranny or something (most likely), I'll always have another Rx7 to put the flywheel in

Yeah, it's always good to have a backup plan. I figure that my worst case scenario is that I will need to get a different setup for my 20B, and then move all of those Mazda Motorsports goodies to my 1Gen. Oh darn!

Everything that I see that OS Giken sells is for a 93+ RX7.... do they sell something for a s5 tranny? I'm still going to be running the s5, and later adding a geforce tranny with s5 bellhousing adapter... so thats definitely the clutch I want to go with...

or will the FD twin plate clutch work with an FC? Do you have to use an OS Giken flywheel with their clutch, or will my racing beat one work fine?

I'm kind of green when it comes to high performance clutches (and other things as well ).... so any help is appreciated.

i think that they have their clutch, and the fd uses an adaptor. ok i know the fd uses an adaptor, they convert it a push type. i think the actual clutches are the same.

I have seen thr Guru flywheel and hope to be trying to break it and the box with an FD that we just installed a 20B into. I have driven a car with this combo and dont like my chances however I dont know anywhere else that I can have that type of fun with other peoples product. I will keep you informed. I would not recomend a super tough clutch combo with the std s.5 box as it is more prone to breaking with a clutch with big bite. Ask me how I Know. It cost me money! hehehe!

So what weight flywheel is good for a 20B turbo, in a street car (323). drivibility not realy an issue.
Also how much power will a S6 5 speed handle. We are aiming for a lazy 500-550HP and about 650hp with more boost.

Throw the lightest thing you can find then.

I'd say you'll kill that transmission...
