I will come pick up my set of clutch before the end of the week Ben.

has anybody bought/installed this yet? i already got my stock clutch/fidanza flywheel but wanna know what people think of this incase i wanna swap out the stock clutch for this...so reviews anybody?

JamesBizzle · #27 (**permalink**) 06-27-2008, 07:05 PM

Mine should be here shortly. Can't wait!

AJ PwR Jr. · #28 (**permalink**) 06-27-2008, 08:24 PM

We sold quite a few already so I guess you should wait for a couple weeks and there will be feedback by then.

Lightweight flywheel? I'd stick with the stocker honestly. Killing your rotating mass on a 1.5l isn't exactly the best idea. Hell we keep the stock flywheel on the drag cars 2.0 bseries/ ** Kseries making both making 700++++ Just my opinion, but all good parts nonetheless.

I plan on picking up the clutch and turbo kit from you guys soon. As long as everything goes as planned

whats wrong with lowering rotating mass on the 1.5l? i dont know much bout cars but nobody has told me its a bad idea so far....?

It's not the worst thing in the world. The problem I find with them though, is that you lose torque storage capacity, or inertia. I can see using one if you were to road race, but other than that, for DD or straight line racing, stock flywheel is usually best in my opinion.

To simplify it, your pro's would be- quicker rev's, better gas mileage, and your con's would be- rev's falling off faster, and taking higher rev's to launch. I hope this gives you a basic understanding of what I mean. If you need more explanation just let me know.

Again like I said, all the t1r products are great. I will be buying some soon enough, but most likely not the flywheel.

From what whtsjdm said, I agreed 50%. Stock flywheel (heavy) will benefit more inertia but when you consider a 500-700hp car, most of the time aftermarket flywheels won't HOLD so a lot of drag racers gave it up. The Fit is not making 500+hp so I don't think there will be any issues with it.

When it comes to daily driving or road racing, who will refuse faster revs and better engine response ? Lighter weight drivetrain components is always good to have and the only downside that I could think of, the engine will loses a bit of torque when going uphill because of less inertia.

This is true. I don't know, maybe I'm just a little biased from building some high hp cars, and I'm use to sticking to the stock flywheel. Are you guys running this on your track car? I'm thinking of RR/TA my fit, so who knows I may just pick it up. Either way, bump for these guys. I'm loving their products so far. Definitely the best IMO when it comes to the fit. Pretty sick with the s2k's as well

I used to have the ATS clutch on our TA Fit but the unit failed and I am on the same T1R clutch now.

*bump*

Clutch and LSD just went in last night. The clutch is a bit harder then stock and grabs more aggresively; makes the car feel more torquey. Overall, clutch feels good but still haven't had a chance to really test it out.

I'll post my "real" impression once I break everything in.

What kinda LSD did u get? I got my Quaife ATB unit sitting right beside me right now. Gotta install them when my bro have time.

I'm runnng the J's Racing LSD, which is just a rebadged Kazz LSD. I went for a little spin yesterday after i got my allignment done and u can really feel the LSD pullng the front end through corners. Can't wait to test it out at 100%

i have the J's racing LSD with the Exedy clutch and Fidanza flywheel and let me tell you that they make a huge difference in the canyons. I think the biggest difference is the pull when you're exiting a corner on the throttle. There's a ton more traction allowing you to get on the power sooner in the corner.
