    i run a BP N/A (tx3) pressure plate and lightened flywheel on mine (215mm) but i actually use the 225mm b6t clutch plate which fits in perfect. the TX3 flywheel looks similar to the 4wd one in that pic with the steps on it.

      The flywheel I'm running on my B8-powered '90 4WD:



      Personally, I think it makes the car much more driveable. 10.3lbs, too, which is nice.

        ^ That's the same as the BP05 one

          Correct, but it's been thinned a bit, as well as having the middle 'kidneys' cut out for lightening.

            i'm curious how much it has been thinned on the clutch face, thats the critical measurement for keeping your pressure plate from rubbing inside the trans.

              mine. ring gear is fixed i think. does the ring gear have to be changed?

              agreed about improved drivability.

                Those FM flywheels are nice- I recently put the heavier of the two in my dad's 97M and it made a huge difference in an otherwise stock car.

                  ring gear doesnt have to be changed, the stock ring and starter are retained. if you read the clutch/flywheel section of the first post, you'll understand what i'm talking about.

                    can we get a pic of the notch of the bellhousing to give us an idea?

                        Jon, in case my PM didn't show up, what do you want for them axle stubs?

                          Theres what i have on the starter snout, on my first attempt.

                          Id like to add that i didnt have to take any steps off the flywheel for good clutch operation. Nor for clutch's rubbing in the bellhousing. I do believe if you use the smaller bellhousing levin style box you need to do this but with the bigger celica box's you dont... (obviously i use a celica box, otherwise i need to buy a levin and put a transfer on it)

                            josh you are probably using a gtx/gtr flywheel and clutch, right? if so thats probably why everything clears

                            if you are using the n/a gear, it seems to depend on the brand of clutch. ftjandra is using an ACT brand clutch, which cleared everything while mine did not.

                              Correct.

                              I see, your talking about slight differences in pressure plate design when using the big step 2WD flywheel.

                                yes the big step flywheel moves the pressure plate out a LOT, probably 10-15mm assuming the friction surface is in the same location
