I got my flywheel from rx7.com,there Bönez Aluminum Flywheel it was not cheap
almost 500.00,I went through a few clutches,oem,centerforce duel friction,Then I purchased
the act street comp.I have gone through 3 trannys--lol/But the clutch is still working great.
If your car is a daily driver I suggest not buying the same flywheel I did.Its not great for stop and go traffic.

cool. great advise. i think i will definitely(?sp) go with the ACT clutch. yeah i dont think i need that flywheel. its just a DD and its an NA. im in the process of converting it to 5spd. i figure save the install money and do the clutch and flywheel while im at it.

ps that girl in your sig......DAMN. probably one of the best looking girls i have ever seen. not good to put her with your car....... it took me 5 mins to realize there was a 7 in that pic... lol.

www.rx7store.net (they sell Flywheels too), or search on Google.

I personally just bought a Racing Beat 12lb (with counterweight) Aluminum Flywheel kit and ACT Xtreme Pressure Plate and Unsprung Performance Street Disc kit for my car. Rebuilding the engine right now, so Im not sure how it feels.

I took oposite route. I installed RB aluminum flywheel and RP standard cluth on my vert. Since I never have plan to boost my motor, I thought standard (or OEM) cluth was enough (actually it is). I recommend alminum flywheel on NA because it makes huge difference on response.
