Default new parts arrived.

I just got my Fidanza billet aluminum flywheel (10.5") and a replacement chin spoiler.

The flywheel replaces my 11" clutch with a 10.5" setup with a dual friction kevlar friction disc, King Cobra pressure plate and centerforce TOB.

My old chin spoiler is at the bottom of a 400' ravine wtih my old front bumper cover and grill delete.

Note: I've bought a few things from MRT lately and they've all taken too long to ship, and had poor communication about shipping times. Anyone else do any business with them

yeah I got in a little wreck like 4 months ago. Munched my hood, bumper, both fenders.

Some little rice-**** tear-assing through the mountains and we met at the front end. TOTALLY destroyed his car.. did 6K in damage to mine. The bumper cover was sitting on the side of the road but I went up and checked it out and now it's all the way at the bottom of the hill near the lake.

really?... well it was kind of a last minute thing. I already had a 11" 03 cobra flywheel but, the kevlar clutch I got (freebie) was a 10.5" as I found out the other day in a test fitting. It'll hold better than 600hp so I definitely want to go that way from stock. The fidanza was hella cheap used and the friction surface is replaceable so I figured.. what heck.

But, do tell about the problems. I'd like to know what to plan for...

a guy out here in germany has the same flywheel when he dropped his tranny and motor the set screws on the outer ring were loose. all he did to remedy the problem was back out the allen head bolts and put thread lock on them.

Ive heard nothing but great things about Fidanza, other than the difference in launch, but you should enjoy it with the type of racing you are going to do, and its got a replaceable friction surface.
