Well, my kid learned to drive stick on my 91 1.6.... Gonna be time to replace the clutch soon.
The 9 pound Fidanza Flywheel has always made an annoying racket.
I can throw in a stock flywheel but I'm wondering if the Fidanza can be quieted down somehow (?)
I'm not even sure what in the drive train makes the noise (?)
Thanks

I just weighed my stock 1.6 FW - It weighs 18 lbs. Dunno how much they can shave off (?)
I was quoted a price of $45.00 to re- surface and lighten the flywheel.
While I was at it, asked how much to do a valve job on my spare 1.6 head - $300.00 I don't know if that is the going rate or what... Includes complete disassembly, cleaning, inspection, 3 angle valve cut etc.
Oppinions ?
