So after looking at many different brands for a new clutch and flywheel and was wondering what you guys think of getting an Unorthadox flywheel listed at 9 pounds and an ACT xtss clutch setup? Just wondering what others think of this setup or what others are running. The car is a daily driver and needs to be able to be ran on the street. Im not to up and up on the flywheels, is it the lighter the better with a good brand of course or is their a point when it becomes too light and effects drivability? As for the clutch I have heard to go with the ACT XTSS or HDSS and I belive I will be going with the XTSS, so what do you all think?

thanks

 

just like with any new clutch setup, youll have to get used to driving your car again...but what youve chosen should be streetable

 

I have the ACT HDSS. It drives like stock.

 

yea but hopefully it dosen't grab like stock... right? I can handle something more agressive, im no rookie to the manual trannys. Just want to know if I want to go to the track I can launch my car like it was meant to be without jacking my clutch up like at did at some random stop sign because i held the clutch in for just a bit to long on my launch then looked back and nothing but smoke... and not tire smoke, lol, good ol burnt clutch baby!

My only real concern is the flywheels... does going below a certain weight make things hard as far as trying to street drive? or is lightest i can get just the way i should go? like i said i am looking to get the Unorthadox flywheel which is said to weigh 9 lbs.

 

no it grabs far better than stock, i have it also

yes, the lighter flywheel will affect the car, but if you have right foot discipline, youll be fine...

 

i as well have act hdss and have steelite flywheel. i like the combo and that thing has seen a lot of launches and hasn't had a problem holding the power.
my only concern is the damn clutch chatter.

 

when you mean it will affect the car, how or what are the effects? what can i be expecting if put in?

 

RPMs will rise much faster.

 

thats it? thats a good thing though right?

 

ok so does everybody think i should go with the Unorthadox flywheel which is 9 lbs or should i go with something a little heavier. and the ACT xtss clutch would be a good way to go right? i need to put in my order and need to know what i should get. thanks

 

i use act xtss with fidanza 9.5 lbs flywheel. also i use a stainless steel clutch line and the restrictor pill removed. almost 1 year of driving and it still engages strong. it was a whole new driving experience because it does not feel like stock at all. clutch pedal pressure gave me a sore leg after the first day of driving... right now my left leg is probably bigger than the other. traffic driving is pretty easy once you're used to it. becareful not to engage too quickly or you will feel a very strong thump (tranny shock?)

rpm rise is pretty much the same as stock but the rpm does drop quicker than stock.

 

I prefer running my HDSS with the stock flywheel but I might have to change it with the Red getting put in the next few weeks. I'm not sure but I might stick with ACT or go Exedy Twin

 

I looked around on the forum and couldn't find how to remove the restrictor pill, maybe I am just retarded, but can somebody please let me know or show me how with some pics on how to remove it? Also, was looking to replace my clutch lines as well with the new clutch, and have read to replace the upper and lower, but then some people say not to replace the upper... ETC. Does anybody know for sure what should be replaced? Thanks, and I guess I will be ordering that Unortadox flywheel and ACT HDSS after trying to get some feedback, nobody said anything bad so... Hope this will be a good choice. Any suggestions would still be great.

thanks now just need to get in there and do it! doesn't seem to hard, but hope that tight fit doesn't give me any fits and seeing as how I don't have the smallest hands, it will most definately be a pain, but I can do it!
