very interesting car!
all that has been calculated and the results are the flywheel you see..
ah right so its a one off flywheel not just a modded one?! shouldnt known really
so i guess you just made the 'offset' from crank mating face to cluch mating face bigger by the thickness of that plate? could that be done safely with a spacer between crank and flywheel you recon? or a spacer welded to the flywheel? just thinking aloud etc as ive always wanted to use a honda VTEC lump in a fiesta, might be in a financial psoition to do it later next year so is handy to see stuff like this in pctures to understand exactly how its done!
