big issue on the clutch and flywheel...:(
hey guys
i don't really know that much about clutch systems.. so here i'm posting this for a good advice from u buddies..
currently i've toasted my clutch..
and had to get a new one between competition, exedy, and act.
and total prices for the packages (clutch disc and flywheel) were extremely pricyyy..
around 1000.
and installation costs about 500-600..
so.. I'm kind of hesitating on cancelling my order on that flywheel..
i know that the lighter flywheel would give me better accelation.. but can't afford that much amount yet..
well.. i've got stock flywheel on my car..
it shouldn't be a big deal just keeping it stock in future hey?
so im' just planning to repacing the clutch..
i look forward for you guys to give me some good advice on this guys..
thanks..

resurfaced..?
what would they do it..?
i thought modifications on the flywheels are only slight bit of differences on your accelerations..
so then, keeping stock flywheels shouldn't cause any major harms on this 83k km fd and in future..?

Its ok to reuse your flywheel with a new clutch. Resurfacing the flywheel gets rid of any imperfections like grooves or any other weird thing that may have developed over the years on the flywheel "face" (section that comes in contact with the clutch). Once its resurfaced, the new clutch will have a like new surface to grab on to and your clutch will last longer. Hope this helped.

so.. basically they just clean the surface of the flywheel...
if i don't do those resurfacing and keep on using my old stock flywheel with new clutch, then would it cause any other harms on my motor than probably eating my new clutch disc faster..?

Yes, this will allow a flat a true friction surface for maximum clutch life.
Your motor will be fine but if you don't have the flywheel resurfaced now you won't have a perfectly flat and true friction surface and you will be buying another clutch in the VERY NEAR future.
So to sum it all up getting your stock flywheel resurfaced now is an absolute necessity. If you are still confused about this you should ask the shop that is doing the swap for you about it. For the price you were quoted i hope it is already included. Ifthe shop does't know what resurfacing the FW is (which I highly doubt), you need a new mechanic

From the other thread.......
You'll still be alot of money ahead.
........Whether or not to replace the FW is dependent on the condition. If your short on money and the FW is servicable. leave it or resurface it and spend the money on a new clutch fork, throw-out bearing, rear transmission seal, pilot bearing and good transmission fluid.

so it would probably be a good idea to change my flywheel as well..
well.. i've got about 6-7grand left.. and still have to rebuild my motor..
and well.. i completely toasted my clutch (car wouldn't even go while reving it to red-line)..
so my flywheel shouldn't even be in good condition and shape now by the way..
because i might completely grind my clutch away..
what do you guys think..
you guys think it should still be fine if i resurface my old FW?

So you're going to rebuild your engine? If you're going to rebuild it very soon, just wait until the engine is out of the car. It will be easier to replace your clutch when the engine is out of the car. Your engine builder can inspect your flywheel and tell you its condition.
If you're not planning on rebuilding your engine very soon, the shop thats doing your clutch can inspect your flywheel. If you're worried about it, buy a flywheel and return it in case you want to reuse your stock flywheel.
