Not a dumb question Nik (I think)
They are dual mass OEM, but I wasn't paying 2200 @ trade price for OEM clutch and flywheel. It will get driven spiritedly so wanted to beef it up a little with a SPEC clutch. You need to use the matching flywheel in this case, which incidently is a SMFW. Think the weight is around the 8kg mark.

I'm expecting a little bit of chatter at idle, but the characteristics of the engine should change for the better

Hi Schoona,

i also upgraded my clutch and went with a SMFW, just wondering how loud your chatter is at idle?
i was definately expecting it but some days it really loud that i get stares and its not the exhaust note lol

thanks matt

hey mate, yeah mine is a bit louder some days than others. Don't really care tbh, was told it would chatter but the way it revs and the other sounds it makes...all adds to the character

Be good to see yours in the flesh too mate!

Thanks big guy

Not all about the ultimate horsepower figure, it will be quick enough on the road and I wont lose any of the noise. Win win

Definately dont care about chatter n love all the improvements it has given... The reason i ask though is that apparently when my old flywheel bit the dust it took a gear box bearing with it... So im just trying to gauge if my chatter is normal or that the bearing might actually be stuffed and making chatter louder...its not comforting that i now hav a small leak which looks like gearbox oil

Would definately be great to see the .:R's in the flesh together... everytime an event is on i seem to be busy but hopefully one day

Be good to meet up and compare setups at some point mate!
I'm getting problems diagnosed this Friday coming, something has reared it's head again. Pretty frustrated!!!

Went out taking some photos today, sorry for the massive photo bomb, but most of them I like for one reason or another (the "photo itself" not the car haha. New location etc)
