It wasn't sold on ebay originally Rich, that's why he won't buy it off you. He only buys ebay fresh parts.

rich.... Can you cut me a manifold flange? I've been looking for one but don't want the racing beat one with the gay RB on it. Sounds dumb..but i'm particular haha. Only other one was from extreme rotaries in Aussieland. so I figured i'd ask around a bit..

Rich did you get that manifold through A-Spec? The thick CNC-cut flange looks like the one A-Spec uses.

Sorry guys, should have mentioned it in the post with the picture..... that is indeed an A-Spec manifold, lovingly crafted by the Mighty Seanny Sean himself

Gorgeous Rich.
One day, hopefully sooner rather than later... I really want to see what that 6766 puts out for numbers. I've got the older 6265 since the days before precision even made their own divided t4 1.0 manifold (I've got a turbonetics one) and I still haven't had a chance to run it and now they've got all the new parts. I'm looking forward to seeing what the new stuff can do.

Thanks Kyle

Received this bad boy in the mail today..... Exedy Comp-D. Twin cerametallic discs with lightened flywheel. It weighs a scant 23.5 pounds vs the 'standard' Exedy twin disc that I currently have at 30.6 pounds

Do you use your car for drag or circuit racing ? reason is I thought a heavier flywheel is better suited to drad racing.

That flywheel is great. I have it in my car as well. Makes down shifting much easier.

Some comparo pics between my old 'standard' twin disc (part #ZM022SD) and the new Comp-D competition unit.... also an interesting peak into the rear of my engine

Notice the difference in weights (pretty legit!), diameter and disc design

Will this flywheel fit onto the old disc without any problems? 6.xx lds is a hell of a difference...

^^Good question, I'm not sure if they're modular or not.

One other difference of note, the Comp-D discs are 4.3mm thick when new and the 'standard' cerametallic discs are 4.0mm thick when new.
