light weight flywheel + counter weight+clutch questions
was sup
so i was wondering if i was to get a light weight flywheel
could i use a counter weight from any rx7? according to a ebay seller. i was told this in reply
"this rear counter weight is from an 87 gxl automatic. Even thought the rotors are different weights, the balacing of the rotating assembly is dependant on the FRONT counter weight,not the flywheel or flexplate and rear counter weight...so this can be used on any year engine without any risk of vibration as along as the FRONT counter weight matches the rotors being used"
is this true?
also what are the disadvantages of having a light weight fly wheel?
and im in need of a clutch since i will be swapping in a new trans. where do you guys recommend i get my clutch kit from. i only need it for a few months till i get a turbo 2 swap. so i dont see the need to go all out on a great clutch if im going to be throwing it out soon after i install it.
oh btw i have a 88 vert 6port 13b

wow now i feel like an ***.
well no because i already knew that. what im specifically asking is....
is it true what the seller said in his reply message """"this rear counter weight is from an 87 gxl automatic. Even thought the rotors are different weights, the balacing of the rotating assembly is dependant on the FRONT counter weight,not the flywheel or flexplate and rear counter weight...so this can be used on any year engine without any risk of vibration as along as the FRONT counter weight matches the rotors being used""""
because he says its out of a 86 but im scared to buy this and when it comes down to install and run the car my vert shakes it self to death..
and is there anyway to identify a counter weight by simply looking at it ..

you get what you pay for.... cheap-o ebay clutch is definitely going to burn up fast. Spend the money, get a clutch that costs maybe three times that and enjoy the feeling of not having to drop your transmission again in 6 months. An exedy clutch is cheap, around 250 and will last a real long while.
