Yeah, my mechanic recommended Fidanza, but holy cow are they pricey!

LOL... I paid $900 for my MX3, I'll have more than that in new engine and clutch alone.

The car was a real bargain though, immaculate, no rust, new brakes all around, new struts, new exhaust, new clutch (lol), and only 120,000 km.
But it was painted with marine paint, and unless it's been waxed and buffed, it looks like hell.

I was like that, my car cost 1000 and I got a klze.. ebay clutches were ok for the first 6 monhts, after that.. crap...

ended up getting a spec clutch and it grips nice... 2 years and counting. klze turbo. stage 3.

Aasco flywheels is what Rafi sells. He used to offer the Fidanza, but had a few issues or something and made a switch. Aasco is what I run and like it fine. I do not remember which CM I used by name or number, I look at the torque rating... 255 ft/lbs iirc is what I use, and it is not multipuk (I hate those, too grippy, all or nothing clutches)

Muzzled, are you Greg? If so, yes, thanks! The ECU was waiting for me when I got back from Ccoty. :mrgreen:

Bought a stage II Clutchmaster kit last night, thinking of a set of Interprep valve springs.
Rafi looks like he's got the best price for flywheels.

Indeed, but that's the way it works. Just cause the car is cheap doesn't mean that manufacturing new parts for it changes...Figured it would be easier to afford those upgrades cause you don't have a car payment, unlike those of us that paid significantly more for our Mx-3's
