flywheel: if you are a baller go buy a fidanza, if not buy a stock lightened flywheel from roadrace, theyre like $130, thats what i got

LSD: quaife but they are mad hardcore money, i wouldnt get it unless you are going to build a fast drag car and want to race with slicks, otheriwse its not needed

bushings: you dont need the tranny ones, but get some polyurethane ones that go under the shifter base, they make a huuge difference and are only $10. b&m is the only good shifter for dsms, i have one and love it

starter/slave cylinder: no need to get until they go bad, having the tranny out wont make them that much easier

This is a incompentent question but correct me if im wrong but lightened flywheel is just to make more power to the wheels? So if he is not running a lot of HP why buy a lightened flywheel when a sock one is like $60?

flywheels dont make more power to the wheels, its just less rotational inertia, it makes your engine revv quicker and accelerate easier. it has the same effect as buying lightweight rims. roadrace lightens them from 19lbs down to about 14lbs. fidanzas are i believe only 8lbs. but even the roadrace ones help quite a bit because they take all the weight off around the outer portion of the flywheel, where it makes the most difference. it all goes back to physics

thanks for your reply,i would really like to go with an lsd because at the track i cant buy traction.it spins through 3 gears(well with 19's) at no matter what launch rpm,no amount of clutch feather will calm it down.i dont know why but i had the impression that fidanza was junk,lol sorry bout that ill take your word.and as far as the b&m your right it was the only one i was considering for a shifter.thanks again man

oh i forgot,i just acquired 2 evo8 rims and tires,i want to run some nitto 555r's on them for track purposes.i am not a hardcore drag racer but just wantto go every so often when i do a mod or i am bored ill head to the track,and just wanna perform well.i figure spinning 3 gears= losing precious time.its a good part of the reason i will be starting an awd spyder project before the year is up.thanks again

So with the stock clutch It can hold 14 or 15 psi with a front mount worth of power. Im looking to make 250 hp to the wheels.
