I personally would not use a light weight flywheel on a turbo tC, you absolutley do not need a quicker revving motor in 1st and 2nd were a lightweight flywheel will help the most unless your running a very large turbo or turbin ar that spools very late. If your doing 275 wheel right now you already have massive issues with traction in 1st and 2nd and probably part of 3rd like I do.

There are a lot of good choices in clutches, my personal pick for hard street use is a 6 puck spring loaded hub. My brand preference is ACT.

My recommendation if you plan to up the ponies or race often would be an ACT model TY4-HDG6

If you are all street and no plans for more power & just race on occasion, run a TY4-HDMM

I went with an exedy stage 2. I don't race and just like to have a little fun here and there around town. I'll prolly take it to the track to see what she can do, but after that I'm done with racing. Thanks for all the input guys.

Clutch is in. Car runs great. Freaking Clutch pedal is heavy as hell. Clutch smells bad, but i'm babying her for another 1.5 tanks of gas.... Had to get alignment done, is that normal?

Thanks. The only issue I seem to be having is that matched with the fidanza flywheel, if i don't give it the perfect amount of gas at the right point, i get a little shake. The car isn't going to stall but I still get a little shake. Its a bit annoying but the clutch feels too good for it to matter much

The Fidanza isn't all aluminum, and there are several people that have been running them for a few years w/o a problem

Jax...where did you find that 375 figure? the Stage 3 is listed as 150% - 200% over stock, and we can assume stock is 180 or 200.
Would that mean it's (180 x 150%) + 180 = 450?

But you like it, right? And you didn't get a lightned flywheel? I really dont' want a ligher one because I think my RPMs drop to fast as it is when i shift...
