Other than the fact that "good working order" appears to have scorch marks everywhere (nothign a resurface can't cure), it looks like a fun flywheel.

Looks like you got a good deal.

I think you'll need the counterweight though.

yeah ebay has become japans junkyards best friend. They sell anything ripped out of cars and call it "JDM" and people buy that **** all day long. Also they rake people over the coals with shipping. My friend paid 51 bucks to ship some bullshit BOV that didn't even work from one of these dirt bags and actual shipping was 26 bucks. I hope this isnt worped and you will want to pay to have this resurfaced along with a new clutch disk.

just off the topic here, i appologized...

i'm just concern, my anti freeze had been buzzing since i bought the car last summer, (a month later after the purchase)..car runs fine no overheating, guage before halfway, so i would think its the sensor..

i would normally add more coolant and tries to bleed it from the bleed screw off the rad and would normally fix the buzzn' thinking that the sensor on the rad aint sensing any fluid, which it isnt..

later today it started buzzn again and this time i took off the coolant sensor off the rad and added fluid from there, atleast a bottle of cocca-cola(water)..boom, fixed!

i was about to get some gas and so i thought i'd ride on my 1st gear and so i did, up to 4k for atleast 20sec..to sort of give my secondary injectors abit of an excercise, i heard u shouldn't baby ur car, too much is not good..
anyways, just to finish off my revving, i tried quick rev close to the red line
(NOT a sudden WOT)..7k...

when i got home after gassing, i saw coolant leaking underneath my car!!
damn pls dnt tell me my engine is blown, i mean big damage that would cost me big dollars...
one thing for sure, the car IS running as normal as always..but knowing i'm just a begginer on rotaries, i'm not sure wats happening.. i'll take a look tomoro

help..pls

flywheel is not worth it for that price + shipping in my opinion. act makes a flywheel for the T2 that is in the low $200's with which you will still need a counterweight, like with that ebay one.

let's see..pointers. impact wrench, strong one...like 450 ft-lbs and a 54mm or 2 1/8 socket. second person to help with installing tranny, or suitible tranny jack or jack you can tie the tranny to. get new bearings, pilot/seal and release, new tranny input/output seals and get a new clutch obviously...not worth the work to get the the fw without doing the clutch too.

coolant leaking? it's a hose somewhere, or your radiator, unless you physically cracked part of your engine...which i highly doubt.
