Finally arrived.
I thought I was going to be a senior citizen by the time this disc arrived.
So tomarrow I'll get the fluted pilot bushing and get longer grade 8 a bolts from Fastenal. Then start putting Humpty Dumty back together again. I must admit the duel mass flywheel is a fantastic well engineered piece of equipment and has served me well. It was quiet. Always made the car idle super smooth. I still don't understand how you could get a nickel to stand up on it's side on any surface. But I digress. But out with the old. In with the new. This Fidanza weighs no more than my 17" laptop. And the Center Force sprung hub disk. $325 for the Fidanza. And $198 for the Center Force disc. We'll see how it goes. |

Re: Finally arrived.
Rick, You haven't mentioned the pressure plate, which brand did you use and the price? Thought one had to have a "matched set" (pressure plate and disc) is that no longer true?
Thanks, Jerry |

Re: Finally arrived.
Sure! First I've got to get the fluted pilot bushing before I can start bolting stuff up. The dealerships in town won't get it for me until I pay the whopping $4.00. Only then will they locate it and send a driver to pick it up same day. Which means I've got to take off work early cuz they all close at 5:00pm. P.S Ryan since your off the next few days you should come on down and check out the shop. It's only a few miles from you on Persimon right off 2920 behind BJ services.
