Here is what happens when you try to race with the copper faced version. This was not from me trying (thank god). But I bought it to resurface it and modify it for the kit. Here are pictures of NOS copper faced (these will be resprayed also) The final version will be like the picture above this post.

Anyone have interest in a full lightweight kit? This would include an aluminum flywheel, Custom clutch disc, and a modified/ repsprayed Aluminum pressure plate (VERY RARE PART) The kit will look like the picture I posted in this thread.
Kit would be in the $1200 range ready to be bolt on. I only have 2 (out of 5) left. There will be some lead time to modify the aluminum pressure plates. Send PM. Very trick parts. |

IMHO, the biggest plus of a lightened flywheel is the much quicker deceleration, you can actually use the gaspedal as a brake and steering wheel ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Andy |
