hey fella's project rx7 is well underway, im taking out the old garbage clutch and well im gonna need to get my flywheel machined. anyone know of any good shops who could do this? im a diy kinda guy.. and i dont have these kinda tools.

cheers,

cody.

im in Richmond Hill by the way.. thats north of toronto by 30 mins or so.. anything in York Region would be ideal... but toronto isnt far off either.

 

Burlington..Dammit!..the name is Escaping me right now,they do Machining and Flywheel ****...RPM knows the name of the Company..so does Jimmy54..(friggin old age!..FFT!..brain fart..If I remember I'll post again..LOL)

 

Dave is talking aout Eurodrive.

Napa can do it, asically any automotive machine shop can aswell.

 

Bring it up to the shop and I can do it for you.

i would do it for you...but i am in Alberta

 

okay sweet thanks Nismo.

and brent where is your shop? cause if its where you live, i can give it to my dad, cause hes usually in the innisfil area alot.

 

Yeah, I'm in Innisfil. Sort of between Stroud and Alcona. All my info is on my site. I can have it ready for you a day or two after you drop it off. Or, if you like let me know what year and whether it's na or t2, then I can just take one off the shelf and have it ready for you. Then you can just exchange your's for one that's done. It's $60 for the machining. http://www.bscmotorsports.ca/

Reviving old thread to keep the info together.

Looking for a shop in the GTA though.

Need a flywheel machined (S4 NA which is a stepped flywheel between the disk surface and mouning surface). I'd rather go with a shop someone used and can refer me to.

Thanks all!

 

Holy Batman, Nice Thread Resurrection! Last post 12-16-06 Brent is still around!

 

Is that a new record? I had started one of longest running spotted threads in the canadian forum. 7 years is along time!

 

I'm sure napa , carquest and most other parts stores still do them lol

 

Lol ya thread resurrections are a byproduct of using search.
So no one with an actual referral in the GTA?

 

If this thread only got 12 posts in 7 years,you may be better off to get a piece of sandpaper,a micrometer and a bathroom scale!
By the time you get it in spec,someone will post!
(Eurodrive..Burlington..)

 

Lol, no way! Not in a hurry. Still haven't installed the LSD I bought from you years ago! Well mine's not broken and me and the '7 is a long term relationship.

Not gonna worry, it's a simple job, just wanted to go somewhere that was recommended by someone here. I'll just go to Performance Improvements and have the guys there recommend a place nearby. I know there are a few engine rebuilders in Etobicoke.

 

Spend a few hundred extra and get a lightened aluminum flywheel. Your car will feel so much better. Both your flywheel and your pocket book will be light

 

Lightweight is the way to go. Racing Beat flywheels have a replaceable friction surface.

 

Maybe in the future, but for now just gonna machine it. Also, I have a few other things to tick off my list.

/off topic

 

??You do realize that installation was not included when I sold you that part right?..
Either that or you missed the appointment to bring it in..lol!..
Ya,I'll go with that one!
I'll have a TII light flywheel and clutch coming up.Changing mine when the car isn't surrounded by snow.

 

Lol, putting in the LSD went into the back burner to life's other priorities. When it's cold and I don't drive it I don't wanna work on it....when it's warm I just wanna drive it

Anyway, just trying to get rid of some clutch chatter. Got a new clutch and will make sure not to hang the tranny on the clutch disk this time

That's why I want to make sure the flywheel is nice and smooth/straight/even. It's really the only issue with the car, but I want it near perfect.

 

Collins on Nugget Avenue does flywheel machining. Had them do a few.

Coles notes:
Update - got it done and definitely recommend the guy - SW Toronto area:

Long version: Went to Performance Improvements in Etobicoke and asked for a good reference for flywheel machining. I figured they're car guys, although more of the domestic and muscle car type, but still, lol (and I like those too). Go to the shop and an old car in the back...I thought it was a citroen, later told it is an NSU LOL. Yes, don't know the old rotary cars at all....but knew the NSU had a rotary and held the rotary engine rights to produce before Mazda did.

Anyway, the guy's son has two 2nd. gen. RX-7's. He immediately told me the flywheel had to be machined on both surfaces (where the pins are) to prevent reducing the grab...I immediately knew I was in good hands. Cost: $110. Very pleased.

 

Collins charges $70-80 with tax and does both surfaces.
