I did a search on this and did not come up with anything... is the UR lightened flywheel machinable? I am replacing my ACT stage 1 (after 2 years only). Here are the pics of the flywheel and disc... would you guys recommend a replacement at this point too?

As for the early death of the clutch, I am not sure why... I drive stick well - double clutching, never ride the clutch... but I have drag raced with this setup quite a lot. I have slipped the clutch or done a high rev. dump on slicks. Would that accelerate the deterioration of the clutch by that much??





In any case, I would appreciate some opinions on the pics and if someone could tell me whether the UR flywheel is machinable, that would be great!

 

IIRC the friction disc is replaceable on the flywheel, but you'll want to check with who you ordered that through..

 

I bought from Custom Maxima. I will send them an email and see what they say. Any suggestions on what clutch I should replace with? ACT Stage 1 again or could I do better, especially for the price? I loved the ACT stage 1 feel.

 

Clutches definitely wear out fast when you slip them during hard launches. It is still wise to do so though as it is much better to replace a clutch than to rebuild a transmission.

The flywheel friction surface looks really really burnt!

 

Mine is in the shop right now, the mechanic says the plate was concave!
