OK, we are currently offering a group buy on the fidanza LW steel flywheel. these will work with all 8 bolt crank 2.2 and 2.5 PLUS the t-3!!! (great for racing where they check for alumimun FW's, and great for the t-3 that needs a steel FW for the crank sensor)
Price is $319 plus shipping (around $20 in the usa) The group buy will be open for 2 weeks or the first 6 people, whichever comes first. Once we close the group buy, expect 3-4 weeks for production and a week for shipping. Our regular price for these after the group buy will be $379
Group buy price is ONLY for the group buy people, so please don't call me 2 months from now for the "special group price" becuase you won't get it.
Thanks,
Cindy
PS just call 281-288-4411 with your payment and shipping info

the weigh 13.6 pounds. A think a t-3 FW weighs about 21 and an 8v weighs about 19

8v is 18lbs, and a Fidanza aluminum is 8lbs FYI.

is this a stock flywheel with a bunch of holes drilled in to it?

Do you have any pictures? Will it have a insert in it like the aluminum ones? I'm guessing not... and since it is made by Findanza I don't think it would be a stocker with a bunch of holes drilled into it......

No, these are NOT stockers drilled. These are custom made by fidanza. The pciture on our website shows the 17lb version. The 13.6 version looks just like it but there is a series of holes drilled along the outer edge. I will look through my database and see if I can dig up a recent picture. These do no use the steel insert that the Alum. FW's do, because it is already made of steel.......

I'm assuming since they are steel and without an insert that they are resurfaceable.

Also, do they have a SFI spec?

Could you possibly check to see what it would take for SFI certification? I would doubt it would take anything at all except a call from Fidanza to the "higher ups"

glhs727
07-23-2010, 10:21 PM
I can ask them on Monday, but I was told that the chryslers FW (both alum and steel) were not sfi cert. because they are made in limited runs and that the testing and certification process was expensive. They didn't see a need becuase they sell so few of these.

Yeah...Franzin's racecar lot ain't cheap either!

...I think I just figured out why you can't afford a flywheel :o

I think I know what you think is the reason why and it is related but not what you think. I really did just spend about 800 bucks on parts to rebuild the 48re in the truck. Looking like I'll have 12 cars to haul 20 hours away, trying to avoid any breakdowns. LOL

LAST CALL!!! for the FW. I only have 4 people that want in on the deal, but that is OK, I guess I will buy the rest and put them on the shelf, but the price will be considerable MORE than the GB price (so don't call me in 3 months and ask for the GB price....if you want a good deal, do it NOW!)
LAST CALL! order goes in Monday and you have till Friday the 3rd to get on the list and pay. All you t-3 guys make sure you tell your firends! and 2.2/2.5 racers that aren't allowed to run an aum. FW, nows the chance to get the steel one!
Thanks!

If these aren't going to be done for the foreseeable future, can you send out my chmsl for the neon separate? I'm running around with a 6" long hole in the decklid. Thanks.

11-29-2010, 03:54 PM
I talked to Fidanza, and they are still waiting on their steel supply. So there is NO eta as of yet. I will be calling them every week until we get a an eta.
Ryan, I will send out the brake light today.

glhs727
01-07-2011, 06:35 PM

J&H Ryan
01-13-2011, 02:30 AM
Yeah, there are a couple other things that will keep the car from being done, but this is keeping the engine and trans apart. Have a couple things I need to buy Cindy, but a little apprehensive as you have a few hundred from me already and I don't have the part, whether it be your fault they aren't done or not, I'd be on their case a call a day.

glhs727
01-13-2011, 06:57 PM
I have a couple of them already, not all of them. Ryan and Joe are the only ones paid so far, so Ryan if you need yours now, just call me tomorrow. I wanted to wait until all were here but again, if someone needs one RIGHT NOW. contact me. The rest should be available shortly.
Thanks,
Cindy
