rx7 store counter wieght
 

I was just reading another forum and they were talking about counterwieghts and how acts c/w is a little better balanced. my question is i bout the actprolite flywheel and the counter wieght on rx7 store.com is thier counterwieght acts c/w or there own? and how good is it if not.

rx7store sells Mazda counterweight.

ACT counterweight are almost the same, its just a bit better balanced than the Mazda one.

You can use Mazda Counterweight, I've been using it for a long while. but the thing is that Im going to take my tranny down soon(as soon as my part comes), and I want things to be perfect, even just tiny minor differents, I wanna try it.

I have the act counterweight. The price is virtually the same, so if ACT is better, there isn't any reason not to get it.

On the other hand, I wonder about the 'better balanced' part. It's either balanced or it's not.

thats the part I dont understand.

I think everybody is fine to use the A/T counterweight, but why dont Mazda sell the M/T counter weight to people for the FW application ? why they recommend the A/T one ?

would love to have the weights of both. and photos.

beers :beer:

low res pic of my act cw

ACTman post the info before, its a couple of oz short for the A/T one.

I ordered mine already, and when its here and I take my tranny down. I can try to weight it, but I have no scale ... need to ask my pop if he can lend his company's to me for a day or 2.

jason,

do you think you could weigh it??? or is it at the dealer already. and take photos of both sides??


nycgps

could you do the same with the mazda one when it comes out??


beers :beer:

no problem. I will try to weight the ACT one as soon as its here.

and I'll do it when the Mazda one is off from my engine.

yeah, i can't help - car has been at the dealer since monday

Sometimes I wish I can have a garage as big as yours .... it sucks that sometimes I cant fix my car because its raining outside.

lol. 2 car garage is too small. next house i buy will need 3

shuuuutttt UPPPPPPP !!!!!

Argh !

so since i ordered the rx7 store one. its still good right? i didnt screw myself? b/c i thought it was the act one since they were selling the act flywheel..

You'll be fine. I've been using mine for almost a year.

CRH got it for 4 yrs.

and THOUSANDS of others.

I just want stuff to be perfect :) thats all

I hate ppl who gets free stuff.

I still hate people who can get free stuff.

Hmm, my counterweight should be here by tomorrow ... if not friday.

Counterweight itself.

Can you weigh the clutch pressure plate and friction disk(without hardware) also?

Thats too much work ~~~~~~~~~~~ :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'll do it hehe :)

maybe we all need to pitch in and buy you a scale!!!

beers :beer:

Just for reference, we only sell the ACT counterweight now.

Yes it is. I do have some Mazda weights here and they are cheaper at $90

Jason

Now you tell me !

oh well, too late.

I'm being told that there is no Fidanza CW now and that I have to go with Mazda part #N351-11-521. I'm sad.

What I need to figure out is if it's the front or the back counterweight. I'm still learning a LOT about this car.

Damnit! I'm being told that the ACT CW was modified to NOT work with the Fidanza FW too. But that was from a Fidanza guy so the salt is expected.

I'm leaning towards getting a used 13B CW, but I won't have the hardware to mount it to the FW, so I'm hesitant. I'd rather have all the pieces in place and in the package when I drop everything off at Toy Box.

I'm all for your advice Charles. You know that. But I found a used CW locally for dirt cheap, and with $2,400 in fines to pay off, every cent I can save is important. I'll probably swap it for the ACT down the line with my first flywheel surface disc replacement.

Oh I know. It's cool man. I ust don't want you to think I'm ignoring your advice. "Don't bite the hand that feeds you" they say, and I need all the advice I can get so I wanna make sure you know I'm grateful for the info and help. :cool:
