Looks like a bomb FEED clutch and light flywheel

Congrats. All I got was a missing BOV and ruined front rotor on my Jspec.

Do some searching for FEED clutches or OS clutches (only thing that rings a bell is OS GIKEN for that part)

As long as the surface of the flywheel is in good shape you can just get a new clutch but I would do some more searching to find some more information about you particular setup before buy anything. You might need to get the flywheel resurfaced but I doubt you need to replace it.

I thought you had to use the same clutch for that flywheel, due to the way it bolts up. Isn't there a cradle that it fits into which is attached to the flywheel. Maybe it is just for twin plate clutch though. Either way you are a lucky SOB.

I'm fairly sure the OS Giken pressure plate and flywheel will only bolt up to another OS Giken disk. Probably the pilot bearings and throw out bearings may be unique as well.

ya thanks.. But it seems now if i need to get a new clutch im in for a big hit. Maybe ill call a place that sells the os flywheels and ask them if i can use any clutch, pp, and bearings. Well thanx and enjoy the pics. Try not to drool to much. Im sure ill be making a few more posts in the next couple days when im trying to finish up the swap.

Check the clutch and see if it has pucks with rivets, if it has pucks you can replace the individual pads.
