Diff all painted up:
Can't wait to see it all together again! JIM
nice thread @zedonist interesting stuff going on, shame you couldnt get the diff, that would have been the easiest way out, am on the look out for one myself ;-) SMF is interesting, it will certainly make a big difference and will be interesting to see how the biting point works out compared to the DMF, look forward in anticipation ;-)
PS, nice work on the rear ;-)

How does your flywheel compare to the off the shelf lightweight ones? I've been looking at these www.turnermotorsport.com/BMW-Z3/c-28-bmw-jb-racing-lightweight-flywheels.aspx
But as it it's a daily driver would I be wanting midweight to retain some factory characteristics?
Cheers

If I recall Rich's flywheel is about 5lbs heavier than theirs for a 1.9 at 9lbs but I'll wait for the master to answer. 9lbs seems pretty light to me but again, Rich did a lot of research and the co he dealt with seemed to know their onions from potatoes. JIM

Hi Ash / Jim
My Aluminium one weighed in at 10lbs, so not too far off the ones from turner, one of the things to note is that you need to have the clutch cover balanced with the flywheel, this helps to eliminate chatter and ensure longevity. Mine should be fitted in the next month so will let you all know how it works...

As always, waiting patiently Rich! Any joy on the job front? JIM

It's a relief for the Family, I'm disappointed as I have to get up early and miss my morning ration of Stargate!
Seriously it's great to be back in the saddle...
