Who makes this FD3S Rx-7 Aluminum Flywheel?

***ZGN*** · 02-22-2011, 10:24 AM

I need to know what type of aluminum flywheel this is. I believe I purchased it from the RX-7 Store in 2003 but Jason@rx7store has no idea who makes this.
Maybe I got it from somewhere else. It is for my FD3S RX-7 and I need to get a new friction plate for it. Thanks!

Looks like Racing Beat to me.

But after looking up the replacement plate, it doesn't appear that the bolt holes will line up

But this is assuming that the photo is of the actual product....

I know there was someone else making flywheels wit replacement friction surfaces, I believe it was Fidanza???

***ZGN*** · 02-22-2011, 10:31 AM

Yep, that's what Jason thought at 1st until he saw the photos. I order a friction plate from RB without looking at the photo 1st and found out it was the wrong one. The holes, don't line up, it's to thick and larger diameter.

I am going to send it back for a refund unless anyone would like to buy it

Well hell, I cant figure it out either. Its not Fidanza, Clutch Masters or Spec. I havent seen one with that friction plate bolt pattern.

I have a RB flywheel that needs a friction plate, how much do you want for it? $90 right? lol Although I'm not using the flywheel at the moment, I replaced it with a ACT Prolite but I'm thinking about going back to the RB.

SR Motorsports sold an aluminum flywheel similar to this too but I think it's identical to the RB fw.

Thanks!!!

I want to get my car driving by this weekend so I am buying a new flywheel.

Anyone want my old one without a friction plate? $225 shipped to your door.
it's 9lbs. does not come with counterweight. you'll have to get one from an automatic trans.

Damn, Kevin!!! I have a good RB flywheel you could buy!!!!

***ZGN*** · 02-23-2011, 10:39 AM
