97 z5 mtx flywheel

[rusty]

I have 97 z5 and was wondering if anyone could tell me what kind of flywheel the car has. Is it the standard flat or a negative step down. I am getting ready to put a OE clutch in and need to know where I need to plan on having the flywheel turned. If anyone has a pic of there mtx flywheel for the z5 I would much appreciate it.

thanks very much, that was all I needed to know.

do any of you guys know of a lightened flywheel made for the z5. I have been looking around and can't seem to find one anywhere. I already have a clutch set that I am getting ready to install within the next month or so. I am just debating on wether or not I wanna install a light weight flywheel. The few I have installed on other cars make me want to do it but it all depends on the price that I can get one for.

1.6 Miata flywheel is supposed to work from what I've read. Plenty of aftermarket flywheels for them.

if I am not mistake though, in order to use the miata flywheel you would have to use the clutch kit for the same car.

you're mistaken then.

I think I was thinking of the miata flywheel could be used on the 1.8l escorts as long as you changed the clutch kit.

so which model miata is it, the 1.6l or the 1.8l and what year? Thanks
