Default Fidanza flywheel

Okay, I'm about to throw up the BS flag here. I've seen TONS of Fidanza "8lb" flywheels for sale on Ebay but, I have yet to see a Fidanza website or any good literature that actually states they make a 8lb streetable(I mean that it won't explode while daily driven not easy to drive on the street) flywheel. I've seen 10lb units for the H series being called track use only and I doubt a 8lb would work any better. Anyone?

I've driven the Clutchmasters flywheel which is like 8lbs and you can totally drive it on the street. It does take a quicker foot and require a little more attention to working with the clutch gas, but it only took me a minute to figure it out and feel comfortable.

i've used mine for around 25,000 miles so far. Infact I just drove my girlfriend to the Pittsburgh Campus tuesday, and anyone that's been there and tried to leave around 5 knows the shitty traffic you get in. Both the ACT 6 puck unsprung and the Fidanza flyhweel held up fine. Granted it was sorta a pain in the *** in that 45 minutes of moving a few feet, stop. move again, stop. Never stalled, etc.

I would rather run a 10 or 11 lb flywheel, just so daily driving isn't so bad, but I have a few friends sporting the 8 pounders, all the power to them i guess

better pull down that BS flag.
35000 miles of daily-driven madness on my 8.5 lb fidanza. lots of drag strip visits, lots of autocrosses. still grippy, still happy.

I've boycotted google eversince I found out the horrible effects it has on the O-zone layer, and those horrible things they've been doing to the children in Cambodia is completely unforgivable. Keep using Google and supporting the downfall of society!

Anyway thanks guys! Consider the flag lowered. I'll be ordering the flywheel and a Exedy clutch soon.

I have a 8lb Fidanza and after about a week I was used to it and can drive just as if I had the stock one. I have only had it for about 2 weeks now so I do still sometimes stall it because you have to give it a bit more gas to start off. Not much just a tad more than stock.

The majority of the 3pc. flywheels are actually made by Fidanza, including the Clutchmasters flywheels. They simply anodize the aluminum in different colors and then Clutchmasters distributes them.

Not if you know how to drive it. My itr has a jun 9lb and I would not give it up for the world.

My prelude also has an 8lb fidanza wheel waiting to go in.
