beware fidanza flywheels! need replacement, pz help!

[gltasn]

man am i pissed! i just went though all the trouble with changeing a clutch becaue there was something rattling around and it would keep me from getting into any gear, randomly(see my previous threads). i was sure it was the rps street max that has had some issues with springs comming out. when teamed with td05's ive heard it was pos.

the clutch looked awsome and i was scared i might have tranny problem then there it was... one of the 3 pegs that line up the pressure plate to flywheel had come out. what a stupid fucking problem!!!!!!!!!

i will NEVER use a fidanza again! too much work for something that might fall apart.
i need a new flywheel and would like to hear your testimony's of stock, rps segmented, or ips lightweight steel. i will choose from these 3 unless some wisdom gets dropped on me. thanks for listening! j sin

Have an RPS segmented, been in for about a year and a half and no problems. The one difference between the fidanza and the RPS is that the RPS is a little heavier. Personally, if Matt M. sells it and recommends it, it's a no brainer. My .02

No problems with mine. Sorry to hear of your troubles. That was something that shouldnt have happened. I hope you took a LOT of pictures and talked to their customer service for compensation for defective product.

not true, when mine shot out 2 of the alignment pins it punched a hole in the bellhousing, I got lucky where it hit because it just barely missed causing damage to where the front diff sits, so I was able to just get the hole welded

I still lost all of my gear oil on the ground though

so has anyone else had bad luck with the fidanza flywheel?
