Also, a lot of those lightweight flywheels are designed so that you can replace just surface and not the whole flywheel. You might want to check into that

Anyone have any recommendations for a full clutch kit with lightweight flywheel?

Yeah in hindsight I'm starting to think it wasn't necessary right at this moment, but now it's apart at the dealership and I would have been freaking out about driving it. Usually when stuff goes wrong with my car I try to resolve or start a resolution within that day or the next at max

(By the way the thread just rolled over to 4K congrats guys lol) so, news, went and talked to the guys at the dealership and they helped me find the exact clutch that was already in the car, so I just ordered it and it should be here by Monday, gosh I'm excited but also it's still not a good thing haha https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...08eb732737.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...196472ee5b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...36fae87db0.jpg

Hi guys,
My car is making some fast (3 per second) clicking noises in clusters of about 5 every once in a while during idle, and the car will simultaneously drop idle rpm from 600 to 500 for about one second. The car makes the same noises every time it shuts down. Is this normal, and could someone point me toward the part of this thread that discusses it? I'm sure it exists but I haven't been able to find it.
Thanks,
Josh
Josh, is this something you can record on your phone? Both the noise and show the tach?

Can I text it to someone? I'm mobile and will be for quite a while. I can't seem to upload videos from my phone.

Do the ZKW and AL headlights need different plastic lens replacements?
edit: Found the thread. It seems that either one should work.
What is the fix for the foglights fogging up?
Also, should the headlight lens gasket be replaced when replacing the lenses? Is that a typical replacement item?
It's a 2004 sedan.
Quick Q: noticed that when I took my front left wheel off there was a nice 6in crack going down the front bumper wheel well. Nothing major but I mean it's there haha, I have found a couple of curbs on occasion but I didn't think I cracked the bumper... :/ ideas? I mean other than getting a whole new bumper, can it be repaired and will it effect anything? Can't be seen without taking wheel off(when looking at wheel well it's on the inside left by that fog light duct

Any pictures?
well if it's the black plastic part behind the bumper that you're talking about then that could be replaced
Oh awesome ok thanks
Also, with regards to my other posts, dealership just called to let me know that the clutch plate wasn't fitting that it was too big, and the throw out bearing was too small... so they can use their own bearing to fit it but the clutch plate is a bust. Said they'll try to fit in a plate they have at the shop but god damnit everything that could go wrong is going wrong

Ok good news, they called me back and told me that they were able to configure it so that they used the OEM plate with their own bearing and it managed to fit the flywheel. Should be done within the next couple hours :thumbup
It's funny you say that because I don't care about the rattle... but I care about what other people think. lol
It's the same reason why I hated driving with my track pads on my car for a day or two; the looks I get from the noise they made was embarrassing! Of course, I tend to care too much about what other people think about my car, so there's that. :(
Great news! It's good when you have a shop that can use some ingenuity to fix a problem. :thumbsup
Haha I couldn't agree more, but until someone points out the chatter then I'll live with it, the brakes on the other hand I cringe because I know so badly what you're saying, many comments about the squeal have led me to dissembling my calipers and greasing them up. Way too self conscience about my own car [emoji28]

Sometimes it's not even that someone points it out. Most of the time, people stay quiet... but it's that thought in the back of my head that says "what are they thinking??" that gets me!
I also refuse to drive a car with broken/damaged body panels for that reason. It's "embarrassing".
Need to stop being so damn particular... sigh
FML just got ANOTHER call from the shop to tell me that they tried everything but the flywheel wasn't fitting or something and that they'd exhausted all options. So my only route now is to go back to a stock 25lbs flywheel.
I guess it's fine but I'm still pretty pissed about it, haven't had my car for the past week and now they have to order the parts again, and I also have to return the parts that I ordered from ECS. I don't understand how they could fit one time and now not fit anymore.
Can anyone attest to going from a lightweight flywheel back to stock? Honestly worried that it'll feel bogged down in comparison... not bashing the stock ZHP but it's not going to be a fun transition

Did this get resolved. I know that there is a difference in flywheels between the 5 speed and 6 speed as the bearing that the input shaft sits in, from the transmission, is different. Honestly, they should know that, but keep in mind that this is an aftermarket part. Did they get this fixed for you or are you still down?

Haha no problem, I continued the thread in "What I Did for my ZHP" because these weren't really questions [emoji28]. It's interesting to say the least, not used to being able to kick the clutch to the floor with little to no effort, but I'm slowly getting used to it. I can see how it will be nicer in traffic haha, but for now there's a 800-1000 shift break in period until I can do "racing maneuvers". Ended up costing me $3600! A good $1500 over what I was expecting, but at least I'm driving again. I missed my baby

So you ended up going with a stock clutch assembly then? Noticeable difference then I take it.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Unfortunately yes, not that I don't like the stock ZHP just that I'm not used to it. It's a lighter, smoother, kick, that's going to take some time before I'm used to it. Last one was very heavy and extremely sensitive. So it's a nice change and I don't know if it's just me but I'm noticing a tiny bit of torque at 2 grand

Good, as you have a manual, you might try running some underdrive pulleys to make up for some of your loss of rotational torque from that flywheel change.
