Looks good, throw a boost gauge in too if you don't already have one. Looks like you are going down the right path.

Most will say no, but you could ask Jeff.

all looks good...but a 17.5 lb flywheel?? thats not that much of an improvment over stock. for near the same price, you could get a 9.5 lb flywheel that will make a more dramitic difference in the acceleration and feel of the car. getting a 17.5 lb flywheel is sorta a waste, IMO.

Do what JoeD suggested and go with a lighter flywheel, it will drastically improve the acceleration.

Looks good so far, especially the radiator - always overlooked in a FD. The flywheel is too heavy but I guess will help some - nothing noticeable though. I think the HKS dp is mild steel - I'd go stainless steel - it gets pretty hot.

A 17.5 lb. flywheel is good if you plan on doing some drag racing. A lighter one makes it hard to launch. But, a lighter one is great if you plan on doing some roadracing/autoX.

if you plan on drag racing, you shouldnt even be looking at lighter flywwhels. Ari still runs the stock flywheel on his 9 second FD.

Jeff told me that getting too light of a flywheel isn't necessary...he says getting a 17.5 lbs one is adequate. I'll probably run this set up until I raise a grip of money, then get street port rebuild and XS T04(street) at the same time. Planned it out nicely. Only set back is I think the bushings are going out, some clunking in the back when I let go of the accelerator.
