I got my car back from the tranny shop 4 days ago. It thought not having my car for 2 weeks was hard, waiting for the 500km break in period was really even harder. Finally the car was ready for its first test laugh
what do you want me to say the combination of the quaife, fidanza flywheel, and the centerforce dual friction clutch is unreal, I couldn't believe that I was still driving the same old tour
Faster reving, better gripping, and a whole lot more fun to drive in and out of curves. eek
I'll be putting the tour to the true test tonight racing my friends heavily modded Integra, had lots of close races against him but lost every single race. I have a feeling that its going to be a long nite.

I knew it was going to be a long nite before we raced, after I bet him 4 times he still wanted to go again. All 4 races I had a full car length to a half on him, even when I redlined once in 2nd gear and had the rev limiter shuting the gas off I still won the race.
At least I motivated him to do more mods to his Integera laugh

After driving an SVT with a Fidanza, Grizzly and Quaife I must say it is phenominal! The increase in acceleration is second to none! I am DEFINITELY getting one. It's like you suddenly gained 20hp - no shiz!

How would you distribute that magical 20 hp wink ....i.e. mostly the flywheel for the quicker revs, better traction all around etc.?

I would LOVE to get this setup on my cizzar but would have to do that shizznit piece by piece. Where to begin?

The fidanza flywheel is not worth the money IMHO. It is good for autocross but as far as straight line racing it has not proven any gains. I had one in for about a month had some other problems with so I took it out and send it back. Yeah it revs quick at and idle but watch your tach after youy push the clutch in going down the road shifting throught the gears. The revs don't hold. I think everyone tricks there selfs into thinking that it has more power just because they dropped 400 dollars down on the piece. I know it doesn't happen much but just think about that aluminuim flywheel shattering and coming through the bellhousing. I will stick to my one piece steel flywheel. Good kill on the gsr!

Its a limited slip diffrential. Its just like a posi trac rearend in a rear wheel drive automobile. Only it doesn't use clutch packs to distribute power to both wheels. It uses stepper gears to channel power to both wheels equally. therefore being able to smoke both tires at the same time. None of that one wheel burnout crap.

I haven't been on a track yet but before the clutch, flywheel and Quaife i was never able to beat my friends Integra. He always had a car length on me but last nite was a different story.
So if it wasn't the mods that i did, what was it then?
