Looking for advice on running a lighter flywheel in a 00 civic coupe
ls/vtec 5-speed, mainly used for autox and weekend fun.

pros/cons

thanks in advance

 

Fidanza or the PIC. A lot of people run the fidanza.

 

I've liked the couple Fidanzas I've used. Cheap, light, durable. Don't see any reason to change (unless I were to go with a multi-disc clutch for stupid lightness, but no point there right now).

 

Excedy good.

top quality, Japanese product.

Worth the change, but not a monumental benefit. More power is better place to spend your money.

 

i have always ran fidanza 7.5 and loved them... but my new setup thati is a twin disc tilton and its even lighter so we will see lol

 

i have a fidanza 7lbs in my car and love it.

 

I have an ACT... wish I either went with their lighter weight model or a different, lighter brand.

 

I have an Fidanza.... but GOSH DAMN ever since I put it on my starter grinds like crazy on the flywheel teeth cause they arent beveled. Anyone have any ideas? Only does it when disengaging, almost like I have to crank key fast and pull it back quickly. Please someone help.... sorry to hijack. lol

I absolutely love it though... revs nicely.

 

Fubar'd or extra pilot bearing or something? I don't have that problem with mine...

 

I've had a Fidanza 7.5 lb, Great flywheel, After a year of use it still looked fresh,never had a problem.

 

I drive a 6th gen civic with a B18C swap and I too have the 7.5 Fidanza on an Excedy clutch and love it. I've never had any problems with my setup and it was even the DD for awhile.

 

I am looking into the flywheel and clutch as well. Can you guys tell me which clutch you use with the aftermarket flywheel?
Currently, I have the OEM flywheel with OEM clutch. It slips after a day of track. The previous owner installed the ACT Modified Street kit and it slipped. I figured the OEM maybe more durable but I was wrong.
