I thought I was being clever fitting fake nuts to my civic ep2 years ago... Two busted within a year (tightened to the correct amount of torque). Steel is the way to go in my opinion.

Kaiten. That's the flywheel Merlin was talking about.

Right, flywheel has been ordered and it isn't any of the ones I thought of initially.
I've picked up an RPC 5.2Kg from my local supplier here in Spain.

I'll let everyone know the coo when it arrives.

How did you get on with the RPC? I've found one at Tegiwa for a good price.

Coolio. I spent like 3hrs debating today about which one to get and I ended up getting the Kaiten 5.1kg

I was going to get the Ultra CC which is 3.9kg but thought I'd play it safe :oops:

Depends on what you plan on using the car for. Even so, a few people on here use the lightweight fidanza for DD and are happy with it. Personally I went for the slightly heavier weight. I'll let you know when it is fitted.
