Sure is on the pasangers side. Just another reason not to own a Honda!
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Isn't the flywheel/gearbox on the passenger side in a FWD Toyota? And besides, in a rotary, the flywheel sits just in front of the firewall, too far forward to get your feet anyway.

On the subject of me being disagreeable, judging by the content of numerous posts made by yourself, I find to be somewhat laughable.

I was merely pointing out a fact. If you don't like that, you don't need to post your thoughts on it, in fact, why do you even bother posting at all? Does buying a car my grandad would consider a "beauty" and slapping 17's on it make you the man about Toyotas, does it chief? :roll:

Your arrogance is truly astounding; I await your inevitably peurile reply.

Have a nice day. :wink:

Who cares what sort of car he drive? And maybe he actually does know a little about cars (obviously from a lot of the posts), the sort of car he drives doesn't say anything at all about his car knowledge.

Anyways, back on topic. Anyone seen that pic of an RX2/3 that spat the pressure plate (or whatever parts took off) straight out the back of the bonnet? Went straight up and left a nice shaped hole with lots of ripped metal pointing skywards.

Cant remember where the pics were but it happened at Meremere

I've explained this so many times, I'm not even going to bother here. Most of the regulars know what I'm going to say anyway. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Hence the reason rotaries need those Kevlar ballistic wraps around the bellhousing.

There was one in NZPC I think that had a hole in the bonnet the exact shape of a pressure plate. Cant remember the story but bits landed in the pits and hit a few cars I think.

might have somthing to do with the crap metal they make the yank shit out of

it is well know that if you want to make any real power you need to get a billit flywheel in a old crusty like that

judging buy the fact there was a orange glow at the bottom id say that it eploded fron stress cracking due to abuse
buy the look of the blueing on both the fly and pp this is a heavly abused item in this car

this has nothign to do with lightin a flywheel nor has it got anything to do with toyota's

more misinformation feed here buy the x-man with him twisting it to suit his need

what the moral of this story then

well
dont abuse your car and driveline if do do this then you are likely to have bad things happen

as has been said early
this has nothing to do with lightning a flywheel at all.........

what a crock
im getting tired of this x your getting worse

if you look closely you will see that it has stress fractured the metal more of a fatige falure than anything else

[img]//homepages.ihug.co.nz/~doms/flywheel%20(12).jpg[/img]


and in this one you can see the pure amout of heat generated under the car
that glow is the a product of somthing uberthere getting rather hot
its eathier the extractors...not likely....or the clutch asembly
or god forbid he has neons
[img]homepages.ihug.co.nz/~doms/flywheel%20(3).jpg[/img]

just a little bit of thought an it dosne ttale much to see what a crock of shit this threed is

and to think there are people calling for it to be a sticky
just show how stupid peole can be


look at the facts people dont just follow some random
and dr-x stop abusing people when your clearly got the wrong idea about what has happened in this instance
i dont agree with the lighting of the factory flywheel....
oh and a question for you dr-x
what is billit flywheel made of and how is it made
then how is a factory flywheel made ??



im tring so hard to be nice mate
