Can't tell from the pics. Many of the aftermarket flywheels have replaceable flywheel surface rings, so that you dont have to replace the whole wheel. I can't tell form the pics if that is what you have.

Well from the pics it doesn't look like the flywheel is worn down to the screws (which I have seen btw) but the clutch disc is hurting seriously.

Also like adamc stated it is hard to diagnose with those pics, are there a bunch of cracks in the flywheel wear surface?

**** it man, if its off, get yourself a lightweight flywheel.

a 13b especially seems like a good choice for one,
it's less rotational mass for your engine to work with. alot less.
you should make more torque and rev easier..

[QUOTE=Tad]**** it man, if its off, get yourself a lightweight flywheel.

that was a 9.5 lb racing beat flywheel. if it was worn down onto the screws it self i need a new one right. rx7 store sells just the replacement pad for the rb flywheel. i just don't feel like waiting till wednesday to get it. they might not even have it in stock. i guess i can always put the stock one back on. decisions, decisions.......thanks kvn
