instead of machining mine, i found it cheaper to buy a new lighter flywheel from the US. since i had the transmission dropped i decided to change my clutch at the same time. i suggest you do that aswell.
they do it at a good price. think 8 bucks for a pair of rotors. cant remember forgot.
Damn...8 bucks is dirt cheap. you sure about that? Do they do flywheels as well? do they do it while you wait, or do you have to drop it off and pick it up 2 days later?

Nah, i was only after a clutch. but i have bought brake pads from them before and they were really good.

Are you sure? it only cost about $40 to machine a flywheel. i don't think you can get a lightened flywheel for $40. I'm only machining the surface for a new clutch, i'm not lightening it. Nevertheless, how much did you get your flywheel for and from where?

Thanks for the reply guys

i can hook u up for an exedy HD clutch, with high pressure plate for like $200 brand new man!!
thats what ive got in mine at the moment..
but tried to drive my car this morning and she wont go into gear with engine running, probably my mechanic put in the wrong clutch or the release bearing is not engaging.
is the clutch releasing, or do the gears crunch when you try to put it in gear? if the clutch is not releasing then i would say the clutch has a problem. di it drive ok when you left the mechanics after the clutch was put in?
I suggest you take it back to them and tell them they stuffed up.
BTW, i already bought the clutch. if only you told me earlier. where can you get it for $200??? can you get lightened flywheels for cheap as well?

ok .. i tried adjusting the clutch cable from the g/box tight and loose to see if it will grip ..and nothing.
when i press the clutch pedal down it feels tight but doesnt seem to grip .. then i tried to put it into any gears it wont go in ..unless u put enough force it will but will crunch ..so i didnt even attempt it..
nah havent driven the car home from the mechanics as the electricals wasnt done, got it towed back to my joint.. now that the electricals are done and this morning i was going to drop off the car back to the mechanics for blue slip ... thats when i only reliased the above problem.
what do u think man? clutch installed incorrectly ?
my mechanics is a wholesaler and that is their price not RRP. so yeh cheap azz .. havent really asked about the lightened flywheel as im using DC2 type R flywheel in mine... they say its lightened from factory.
