No, nothing at all. Space behind the radio for things like amp wiring and such is a bit cramped but still doable. You may compromise cup holder space doing this.




Noticed there were only 3 in left in stock, so I jumped online and put in an order for my...
sounds like something rare lol or something that sells on the quicks, but i would guess something rare

Bought your......???


Will that engine paint stand up to brake cleaner? Because what are you gonna do when oil drops on it besides wipe it off. The paper towel/cloth won't get it all. My brother and I were talking about this yesterday. I was saying brake cleaner won't hurt. "Ahhha! Simple Green that S***!" <these were the final words of the debate.
If you have seen my old white coupe and the condition of the motor in that bay, then you'd know ill be just fine with my painted motor and trans. At the most i used simple green and just sprayed out my bay. If you do a more than adequate job with painting it'll be good enough to withstand a good cleaning.

I'm considering a 8lb fly for the 1.6. I'm gonna need it lol. But I hear its a pain for daily driving.
Everybody says everything is a pain for daily driving like, CAI's, being low, puck clutches, and so on. A light flywheel will have an effect on how you drive the car...if you don't adapt to the change you make it's your own fault IMO. Trying to drive a modified car as if it's stock will always be a pain.

^ definitely a good place for Roma to insert the "indeed" picture.
I figured you had a way. lol. I will be more than likely painting mine the basic silver/gray look. Chrome paint looks good though. I had to post the question because of the end result between my brother and I saying simple green; made me think of your engine bay cleanings.

Simple green can be bad if it just sits on the paint. Even non clear coated paint can start to strip with a good rubbing with some simple green. If you have something so dirty that it needs a scrubbing first, hit it good old soap and water and rub it off, then degrease and rinse off to get any thin film of oil/grease off.

damn nice. i had 12lb on my H22. Agree on what you said that you must adapt to a modified car.
I was going to go with a DC5-R flywheel (just a little bit over 10lbs) but I figured I wanted something a bit more peppy than oem and most of the aftermarket options were 8-9lbs. So i figured what the heck.
Won't be long until the K is in. What clutch are you planning to use?
Going with an Action 2MS 6 puck sprung clutch and pressure plate with caged springs front and rear.
:drive:

For sure man. IMO its always good to change engine parts when the engine is out of the bay. That's a nice price on your new flywheel too , that's how much my Act streetlite cost me if remember correctly.

Good stuff right here. About 70 bolts plus washers, plus nuts...basically enough to keep me busy for at least a little while lol


I really like the washers. Small details are a plus in my book.




Expecting to get my Bisimoto flywheel in today.
