This is just making sure I have them when the time comes, and it feels sooner rather than later...

where did you get to buy Z?

Big Z · Postby **Big Z** » June 24th, 2013, 6:37 am

Lange in chaguanas.
Will pickup a bearing from lifestyle whenever its convenient.
Apparently, the basic exedy clucth and pressure plate kit does not come with the bearing.

Wasn't intentional.. didn't feel like breaking the seal on the plastic bubble bag.
Box clearly says what it is though.
Still don't see how a 10 pound flywheel is an upgrade... still heavy no ass.
Twas more of an impulse buy than anything else. I knew I wanted it, and availability would have been iffy. They actually had in stock so I said, lemme go for it. Not sure when next they gonna bring them again.

Ran late today, so picked this fellow up as I had some time to kill waiting on the boat.

10 pounds is the same weight as the the monster sport flywheel. r's drops it to about 8.6 or so. Considering stock is about 16 pounds sounds like an upgrade to me.

Adds mfactory goodie to my stash which is similiar to bigz's.installation all in one go!

Z lighter than 10lbs s usually a "no no" (with Hondas anyway) the flywheel is so light the engine spins down too fast as you are changing gear... 10lbs is "ideal" in my experience

Hoping to see a nice part here soon

Big Z · Postby **Big Z** » August 5th, 2013, 6:49 am

Oooh... you learn something new every day! Didnt realize that spin down was an issue.
Goes back to the fact that, just because a product exists, doesnt make it a good product. Saw lots of sub 10 lb flywheels in the honda world.
Seems like i will have to do some work on my heel and toe. Anyone giving lessons?

LSD... psychadelic dreams....

ingalook · Postby **ingalook** » August 5th, 2013, 10:18 am

Yeah man, you'll also notice that by the time you get down to 8lbs etc the flywheels are made of aluminium with a steel facing... a flywheels takes A LOT of jamming, I don't think I'd trust aluminum there, just stick with chromolly steel

Relax, doh hut yuh head, yuh buy the right part dey

Big Z · Postby **Big Z** » August 26th, 2013, 8:04 am

Please put up the part number. Thanks!
Would be nice if you do a review as well.

Big Z · Postby **Big Z** » August 26th, 2013, 10:44 am

Not at all.... Get a transmission cooler, use a good fluid and change it regularly!

It wukin !

The pedal pressure is noticeably firmer. Certainly I would only recommend a heavy duty pressure plate if you have considerably more power than stock.

I feel that the slave cylinder and push rod need to be upgraded now in the interest of long term durability.

All parts fit perfectly.

its going to break very soon ....ure very right

spanglish1 · Postby **spanglish1** » September 5th, 2013, 6:39 am

so where can we source the upgraded push rod and slave cylinder?

rado · Postby **rado** » September 5th, 2013, 12:54 pm

Ordered mine from RRP in Japan. If time permits I will try to get some copies of the metal push rod made before I install.

rado · Postby **rado** » September 11th, 2013, 5:48 pm

The metal push rod looks real easy to replicate. I'm sure it can be done locally on the cheap. Changing it was a breeze also; about 10 mins.
Now I can breath easier and relax while driving.

I'll change the cylinder when I get some free time. That one is not so urgent.

do some research .... with the uprated clutch they break without warning .... i would change it asap.

think devi changed out his already ..... i still have no idea why they made it out of plastic to begin with

Postby **Ignorant Ignis** » September 12th, 2013, 8:03 am

BTW ...... i think lifestyle sells a metal replacement if i remember correctly

rado · Postby **rado** » September 12th, 2013, 5:04 pm

nah... lifestyle does not have the metal rod.

I replaced mine already...like i said above. I also got a new slave cylinder with a metal piston from RRP. That is the one I'm taking my time with changing. Should not be too difficult, but you need help to bleed the system after.

But for anyone interested I have the plastic push rod in case you want to make a metal replica. It should be easy for the average machine shop to turn out.
