Ha Prizes aside. What have you guys heard about the f1 racing light weight flywheel? Thought about picking one up from a forum member but am still researching.

I have an ACT Streetlite Chromoly flywheel I am trying to get rid of as well.

Thank you goodhart, Ill do a little more research ect and then decide. I never even heard of the streetlite flywheel. Granted i never had to research clutches and flywheels, but it seems like all i ever heard about was the fidanza wheel.

Well i made a little bit more progress, between working and attending graduation party's this weekend. On sunday we got the transmission dropped which was one interesting experience. The only problem i ran into was me overlooking a long bolt that held the splash shield or metal plate that goes between the block and trans. Hear im trying to jiggle and pry the transmission off and i could feel it coming loose, but then it stopped. Looked all around only to figure out i was prying the piss out of that plate. Removed that bolt and it came out so nicely!

Fancy way of moving the talon around. Since my friends family was so nice to offer me their garage to work on my car. I insisted on not taking up garage space unless i really needed it. . .So every night when done working on the car i clean up and roll the pig out with the help of my buddy. Fun way of moving it around. :D

I didnt bother pulling the clutch, to see in what shape it was, ill do that a little later on. Most likely tomorrow.

Memorial Monday made a little bit more progress attempted to pull the engine which turned out to be quite the fun experience. I got a little overzealous and forgot to move the harness out the way, as well as disconnect the throttle cable of the intake manifold. . . FAIL!!! The engine was being hoisted up and out slowly enough that the slightest tension alarmed us and we checked for any disassemble errors made by ME :) Once i disconnected the cable and moved the harness up and over the manifold piece a cake! Now the only thing i would not recommend to anyone, is the way we got the engine out. It wasnt unsafe i think personaly, but the pictures can explain better then i can

Next i started removing things on the fire wall cutting the zip ties holding the harness into place to move it out the way while taking things off and what not. So during the next couple days ill be working on the harness.
