- Thanks for all the responses about the origin of the flywheel. Seems it's a Fidanza wheel by all accounts. Is anyone running one of these units in a race car? if so, care to comment? My trepidation i

- As I recall you said this is an aluminum flywheel. The big concern I have with them is that they enable a bit more movement than steel--softer, easier to flex, etc.. I've had two of them come adrift.

- Current production of Fidanza flywheels for TR's are quite nice. If this is a flywheel for some other car, hit delete. The Fidanza on my TR4 is about four seasons old, about 25 events. It is not flat
