I plan on a lightened flywheel and Non-MOdular Clutch in mine when I the Clutch, I just haven't decided which clutch.
Guys, I remember a while back a couple of you said the Fidanzia need to be machines before you installed a new clutch because of clearance with the clutch disc? Anybody?

I know Murix did that when he had his car at Wilder Performance here in town. I don't think it's that much of a big deal other than popping the rivets out,etc. He put a CFDF in with a lightened flywheel. I think he's running a Clutch Masters stage 3 now... He'll be back in town here in the states this week so I will ask him.

Murix put a CFDF clutch with a stock neon flywheel, the same set up I have now and like him I cant wait to get rid of it. I would like to go back to modular (unless your getting a lightened flywheel the modular is lighter. with forced induction I dont see that as a nececessity, maybe a hinderence). I dont want to go back to paying $700 per clutch (modular CM) so I may go with either a Clutchmasters stage 4 non modular with neon flywheel (since you all say its available non modular now) or Captain nemos DF clutch on the neon flywheel. If whatever I get doesn't work out I'm going back to modular CM stage 3 or 4.

I've been thinking for a cheeper set up that should still hold some good power. Get the Fidanzia Aluminum Flywheel, and the Borg Warner Brute Force Clutch. Should be around $500, and Borg Warner makes good stuff. This is the clutch I plan on replacing my Neons with(77k doesn't do a clutch good), so by the time I'm ready to do clutch on my Eclipse I'll know if I like the clutch or not.
I'm still curious if anybody had to machine their Fidanzia before install. I though I remember reading that on here...

Been there done that with the borg wagner. Tried it with Fidanza and neon flywheel. Worst clutch I ever had. I've had borg warner clutches in other cars but this one took the cake for junk. Took it out and put the CFDF on the same flywheel and it worked 100 times better. The CFDF only slips at redline shifts.

I actually just ordered Clutchmasters' new stage 4 non-modular conversion kit today. Got a bit sick and tired of my ClutchNet 6-puck slipping once the boost came on strong. With the ClutchMasters conversion kit, you can either get it in Stage 3 or Stage 4 setup. There are also 2 prices on the kits. The one with the lightened aluminum flywheel is $1049, and the setup with the regular flywheel is $649. Talked to one of the fellas at Clutchmasters and found out you get 300lbs MORE plate pressure with the non-modular vs. the modular of the same stage!! I'm getting it in 7 days and will probably have it installed the same week. I'll let you guys know how it holds up on 18lbs of boost....
