Flywheel was machined by my friend - costed around 80 USD. - When I checked the stock flywheel with cluch it was around 12kg, mine is a bit less then 9kg.

Brake callipers - I have no idea - I suppose someone machined them as well - bought them for 10USD from a person that crushed his mx-3 :)

Finally the 1.3 gearbox - Definetely fits from 323bg, the reason for such change is that the 1.3 tranny is much shorter and therefore the acceleration should be much better - and if you have any problems with your tranny the 1.3 one is usually MUCH cheaper :D

I finally had a chance to take my mx-3 to the dyno :) quite happy with the results taking under consideration that it's a slightly moded B6BF ... :]
I checked two types of CAI's during tests - as you can see the red/brown version is much better :D
