I am very interested in fixing the obvious flywheel problem, but I do have some questions:
1. How much will it weigh, I believe the stock flywheel weighs ~58 lbs.
2. Final price (i know you mentioned around $400)
3. What kind of performance gains can we expect
4. This will pretty much obliterate the warranty, right?

flywheel is not made yet. so exact weight and price is unknown.
performance gain?? since it's light weight aluminum flywheel, u'll get better rev responce. or less rev drop on shift change. i'm not sure tho

Hey Guys!

Just a word from us. We really have no specs on this flywheel. Talked to Fidanza, and as with all new flywheels they just need an order of ten and a stock flywheel. If you guys can get the ten orders we will cover the cost of the stock flywheel.

I will be in contact with Fidanza to try and find an approx cost on this setup.

But I hope we can get this running, would love to get you guys some nice flywheels! I can tell you from all my personal experience. Nothing spings like a Fidanza

I just checked out the website, the company seems legit. Will we need to get a new clutch or will this work well with the factory parts?

The motor will rev up a lot faster but you will loose some torque. Also I'm 100% sure this will void the drive train warranty. I can tell you from personal experience that Fidanza Flywheels are top notch as I have one on my 91 Integra with a B18C.

I'm semi interested in this but since my car does not have the jar or marbles sound I'm not sure if I'm willing to give up my warranty for it.
