To broaden the reach of this thread: Equally if your running an F-series tranny with a BP(miata 1.8L) you can run a 1.6L Flywheel 1.6L PPlate and 1.6L disc or although this is not recommended by the manufacturers: 1.8L flywheel 1.8L PPlate and 1.6L Disc which is smaller in diameter then the 1.8L Disc.

i have an RS 5spd with a bp swap and a stripped interior...

The interior from the front seats back i'd say weighs about 40-60lbs....max....
