Screw Racing beat.. I sell Fidanza I will just buy a new fidanza...
I'm using the n/a drive train so the flywheel has to be an N/A flywheel... I bought a turbo ACT flywheel ONLY because ACT website said n/a and T2 are the same..
I hate ACT.. They always seem to be in it for the money and dont give a crap about customer service... I called them talked to the tech guy and his words were...
Even if our catalog is wrong why did u not check with other manufactures to see what they say, before purchasing ours..
My reply..
BECAUSE I BOUGHT YOUR PRODUCT NUMB NUTS!!!!!
CLICK!!!

OK today was the day... Unfortunately I could not find any grade 8 metric bolts to bolt the flywheel to the counter weight and my clutch has not arrived yet so I got everything else ready..
First I started but going outside jacking the car up and getting everything disconnected (trans, oil cooler lines, engine mounts etc). RX7Tuner showed up and gave me a hand and after a little coaxing I got him to give me a hand and yank the engine out by hand (My buddy Aaron was gonna be over in about 45 minuted with a cherry picker but I knew we could do it)
Here is what happen before I pulled the engine
Engine is out:
the engine bay

RX7tuner had to take off and about 10 minutes later Aaron shows up.. so
then I decided to pull the clutch off and take a peak since I knew it was toast
We then decided to bring the engine up from the basement and outside...
Imagine the engine bolted to the stand and this is what we had to deal with
Coming up these stairs
then through the hall and down these stairs
