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 ? |

He didn't offer anything for free. We just discussed the technical aspects of their CW03. For the record; I don't ask for free stuff from other companies. I do, however ask for that which I am willing to offer other companies. My cost plus shipping as a professional courtesy. I also don't always get that for which I ask.
I never said it was you :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: Hmm, my counterweight should be here by tomorrow ... if not friday. then I can just weight it. |

So... verdict?
I have to get a CW for my Fidanza... I might just order the Fidanza CW for continuity. |

Z, how much for/where are you finding the Fidanza weight?
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 am not trying to sell you anything, Z. I am trying to clarify/simplfy what is going on. If you got a deal on a used weight, be it the Mazda 52X or the ACT, go for it!!:)
