new clutch and flywheel

I got my exexdy (ebay)clutch and lightened flywheel installed yesterday and man what a difference in performance. I highly recomend getting your flywheel lightened (and resurfaced) if you plan on installing a new clutch. The car climbs throuhgh the rpms allot quicker and is "fun" to drive again.

Make sure you break in the parts... I was told that you should wait until 500-800kms before going over 4K rpms.
EDIT... How light of flywheel did you go with?

12 lbs. The guy who did the install mentioned that I should go easy on the clutch for about a week or so. It's hard, really hard lol.

rule of thumb is 500miles of CITY driving, so you work the clutch pedal alot and break it in that way. You can rev your motor but dont do burnouts or let ur clutch slip alot...


just do regular driving in the city for 500 miles
