Trying to find a flywheel

Ok I'm like wicked annoyed im trying to find a racing flywheel for an 88 rx7 non-turbo. I just bought a ACT Mazda RX-7 Heavy Duty Pressure Plate w/ ACT Mazda RX-7 6 Pad Rigid Race Disc Clutch Kit but i cant find a flywheel for my car....at my wits-end can any 1 help me?..Do they even make it for a NT rx7? I know my stock wont work its the orginal 1 so its 20 years old and its a stock flywheel so it will shatter. So ya I need a racing flywheel with a counter-weight.

No it won't.

Drop down on the menu on the left, and choose flywheels.

I asked a similar question just a few days ago but folks insisted that ACT only makes flywheels for the TII. Good luck

The stock steel flywheel is more durable than the racing flywheels. The point of racing flywheels is to have a lower moment of inertia that allows the engine to rev up and down at a faster rate.

If you buy the NA one you get a TII one. There are no ACT NA Flywheels.

If you don't trust a hunk of metal that big....why do you trust your car?

The big flywheel that won't break is what you don't trust. You have more chance of breaking the lightweight flywheel. (not that you will)
