Re: Matt's Mod of the Week...
 

Nifty, I Just paid for mine earlier today, so I dont get to see if for a few days =:-p

Cant wait though!

I got mine yesterday...
 

But has anybody noticed that the teeths are uniformly chips on one side. Is this intentional. I never seen a maxima flywheel before so can;t tell whether this is how its suppose to be or not.

Chipped?? I see no steeenkin' chips! :laugh: Guess we'll find out once you rev that baby up to 5k rpm's and give 'er a go!

The teeth aren't chipped, Fidanza cuts the teeth at an angle to make it easier for the starter teeth to mesh. :)

its like that on the stock flywheel too. If i bought one id have y'all beat with gettin it in haha... i can see my flywheel as soon as i go home cause my engien is in the damn garage..:(

Brandon... it's high time you get your car off cinder blocks and on the road again, bro! :laugh:

:eek: Those look very nice Matt.

How much do seats like that go for?
Are you still going go use your stock seatbelt system?

nice seats. and yea...are you gonna use your stock seat belts? the only thing left stock in your car is the carpet remember? :D :wall:

That's correct. :)
I've got a set of 4pt harnesses in the garage, but haven't had time to install them yet. when I do, I'll make them removable, as I don't expect everyone getting in the car to feel like dealing with them... although for how I drive, they should be wearing something better than the factory belts. :)

how are you going to make them removable? i thought you bolt them to the frame of the car. :confused:

I have a few tricks up my sleeve. :)


The ones I bought are permanent bolt-in type, but I'll send one back and get a removeable one for the passenger seat. it's got an extra set of buckles on it so that they can be removed without unbolting the whole thing.

:nod:



dang matt! it's people like you that encourage me to keep my car! I was 2 seconds away from getting a 6speed 2k3 this evening...Can't wait to see your car again...if everything on mine is finished by the 13th, I'll prob go up to kcir. Purdy VE. mmmm

sweet!! I dunno if I'll make it, but I'd sure like to go.. I'll see what happens. :)

If only I had time to get that flywheel in..... I'd be running mid 14s. :)

is there a diference between the fidanza and assco flywheels because im waiting on my assco although im ****ed because i paid way more than you guys

Very nice. You will feel a nice difference in the flywheel...I did:D
Nice seats my friend has those in his bimmer, I always liked them but I thought they would look funny on a 4 door but it looks good. Nice car Matt and like lophix said I want to buy an M3 but you make me want to keep my car and save my money. Whats next....a roll cage????

haha the roll cage is next month's mod for matt :laugh: jk

I personally like the Sparco Milanos :) nice and comfy

they are nice but they cost twice as much

yea :( MSRP $889

I'm not going to put a cage in it... unless they make me. :wall:


Aasco and Fidanza flywheels are just about the same.. differences are trivial.


the seats took some getting used to, but are extremely comfy on long drives. the suspension kinda beats on you in the factory seats, but in these you're supported so well that the only thing NOT supported are my man-boobs..
even my huge gut is supported now that I've got the 4 pt harness in on my side. :)

:laugh: good stuff overall Matt

:goofy:

:laugh:

just curious, how are those seats when dealing with shoulder movement? with some of the seats i've sat in, some give more shoulder range of movement, while some just won't let you budge.

Just weighed my Fidanza Matt. 9.5 lbs.

:)

I talked to the guy at Fidanza every week for about 6 months about making the VG and the VE flywheels. I finally gave up and got my from Stillen for $399. What did you guys pay?

Edit: James check your pm

My bro bought it for me and I'm gonna sell my Stillen when it arrives

a lot...

$400.00 shipped from Stillen

About a million for an 11lb fidanza flywheel ;)
