Lightened Flywheels

[mccarthy]

also very interested but how easy are these to fit!?

[Jhonno]

can you change a clutch? if so you can change a flywheel..

[mccarthy]

never tried clutch. bought a e30 to use as a track car and been upgrading suspension and brakes but thats as far as it goes.. pretty new to mechanics! :S

[BigBavarian]

They are staright forward to change, like jhonno says if you can change a clutch. If the engine is out of the car its straight forward un bolt your clutch and your old flywheel and this goes in its place 6 bolts i think hold it on. You cant even put it on wrong as there is a locator hole thats slightly bigger than the rest. Even if the engine is in the car its just as straight forward. We can ask our mechanic friend how much he'll charge to change a flywheel if anyone doesn't fancy doing it.

very interested in one of the m20 flywheels,if i put my name on the list what is the approximate delivery time?.

Depends on how many people we get to but them. Once all the orders are placed we will collect a deposit so they can be put in to manufacture. I will go and see them tomorrw and find out how quickly they can do them

[BigBavarian]

1. March109 (and I'll be the first to dyno it too!)
2. shorty73 4kg preferably but 4.5 if it suits everyone else.
3. e21Jason
4.
5.

Can you get these for the M42?

[mccarthy]

still really interested in these but not got the money this month. will this be coming up again if say another 4 or 5 were interested?

[BigBavarian]

As long as there is interest in them we will do our best to find buyers to make it as cheap as possible for the zoners, if not we can get hold of the odd one or two but they would be a little more expensive.

[BigBavarian]

Can you get these for the M42?

We can indeed i will find out the weight of them and also a cost for you.

[Jhonno]

or you could run m20 flywheel and starter..

[BigBavarian]

apparently m42 flywheel shouldn't be a problem, just need to drop down an original for them to do drawings and get them into production. How many people we got now then? Reached that magic number yet?

[shorty73]

If De La Soul were right then "3 is the magic number!"


But for the purposes of this, then no, were way off. Don't think we'll find another 7 but 2 more might happen.

Otherwise I'll just get mine machined

[e21Jason]

Have you tried posting on s14.net or e36coupe.com for more takers

[bigdoe]

if these can be ready within 2 weeks put my name on the list.

paypal ok for the deposit?.

[Nay]

I'd like an M42 one, but possibly next month. Doubtful i could get an original to you for you, but maybe i can. I'm hopefully gettin my m42 engine in a few weeks and i'm gonna be gettin some stuff before its dropped in. May be able to send you my flywheel to put them into production?? But other than that i'll have to wait a bit longer...

NayC - the M42 flywheel is dual mass, many people over the years have lightened it by using the stock M20 version instead.

They will be ready within 2 weeks, prefer not to do pay pal as fees but if you do pay pal payment as a gift then no fees!

We will close this after this weekend so any last minute takers then go for it.

If we are stuck at 4 then will do it for the price of 5 and we will buy the last one.

As far as the race one is concerned, i can get that one for the same price as the others but you do know that it is designed solely for a paddle clutch? Please confirm before i order monday.

As for the others, can we take deposits next week please as we don't want a large bill for a lot of flywheels people say they want and then decide they don't!

Thanks, return to you sunday evening/monday morning!

[Nay]

I know this, but it requires a new clutch from either 320 or 325 as well doesn't it? also a bearing from the E28(?) 323i. Could do this but wouldn't want the extra hassle.

[BigBavarian]

We can get a lightened M42 flywheel too if you really want to retain the M42 dual mass

[Nay]

How much would they be? even if its on its own?

[BigBavarian]

Will get a price and see if i can factor it into the group buy

[bigdoe]

i can send you a cheque for the full amount if you let me know how much including postage.

it would be good for everyone if we could but 5 looks llike it will have to do for a start. We will go and see when we can get them into production. We wiull also need a deposit from each party involved but we will send out pm's to everybody this week.

[shorty73]

I'll take a 4.5 one to make things simpler.

Can I pay a deposit over the phone?
Also can I collect mine. I'm only in Essex and I've been meaning to have a nose round your place for a while.

you can collect thats fine, payment on collection will be ok. We can find out if they have a 4kg one in stock you will need a 7 1/4" clutch for it

[BigBavarian]

Just found out that the flywheels are all instock so there will be minimal waitng time for them. Pm's will be sent out to all those on the list, and we just need a few bits of information from you.

Thanks

[BigBavarian]

Guys if I wanted an S50 one, would it be best if I brought an S50 flywheel up for them to get dims etc off?

They have the m20 ones instock and they are looking to see if they have a s50 one in aswell hopefully we should find out tomorrow and we'll either drop you a call or search you out on here!

[Jhonno]

Will it be one suitable for a paddle clutch?

[BigBavarian]

Im sure they can make it to what ever you want! give us a call tomorrow and we will find out what they have instock.

[Nay]
