Rotary Car Club - View Single Post - Help me upgrade clutches in my REPU, rotary GLC and FB

Sorry if you're totally confused at this point. I have a golden opportunity here to take adavantage of several parts that suddenly became available, and I'd like to make some good decisions and use the best parts for the intended uses of the vehicles described above.

What I'm mainly wondering is whether the 20B could get away with the superlight flywheel and 215mm components in the light FB chassis, or will the mamouth torque require me to use 225mm components even though it means having to use heavier parts with more inertia.

I also must try to keep the clutch assembly light in the truck since the SC will add back the rotating weight making towing a little easier and all that. But it should also probably stay 225mm since that is what it came with stock.

The GLC is the only vehicle that can get away with 215mm. The current setup feels a little heavy consisting of RB 13 pound flywheel, 225mm disc and pressure plate. Simply keeping the flywheel and dropping the disc and pressure plate down to 215mm would take care of it. No need to swap flywheels to the 8 pounder since the car will be used for moving people and groceries.
