Title: Aluminum flywheel
Post by: fastback 427 on September 08, 2019, 02:54:07 PM

Does anyone run the fidanza aluminum flywheel or have experience with them? My factory one has small spider cracks starting so its going to scrap.

Probably geared towards an adjustable clutch

I use one just get a new friction surface put on. I sent mine back new surface and new ring gear.

I'm running one as well.  I installed the new ring gear myself. Oven and dry ice worked well.  With a light car I don't need all the rotational weight. I am sure it's easier on the driveline too.

I have ran the fidanza on my own stuff and have sold quite a few of them.  They are nice pieces.

However, I generally don’t recommend aluminum flywheels for street cars.  If you live in a hilly area or a part of town with lots of stop signs or lights, it could be harder on your clutch.  It takes a little more slipping to get a car off with a light flywheel.

Thanks guys, I'll try the fidanza out.
