Dinan Stage 1 flywheel

I am considering the move to this flywheel, thought about
stage 2, but I dont want that annoying lash noise.
Curious if anyone has this flywheel, and how they like it,
and what clutch/pressure plate should I go with.
Thanks in advance
Stevus

I drove Steve Dinan's S2 last year and it had the Stage 1 Flywheel. It had no lashing noise, and the revs were noticeably quicker to move across the rev band. The car had no trouble idling nor coasting in gear. funny, it made the clutch feel much more natural; almost as if the grab point became more precise. I say go for it!

Stevus------------> It looks like we have similar tastes in our Mods...I too will be needing a clutch soon and want to go to Dinan's Shop and listen to a stage 1 to see if it's acceptable.

Otherwise what other options do we have that are close to stock but a weee bit more aggressive??

Thanks! I agree!

I think I am going to go for the stage 1,
As for the clutch?? Should we go RMS, or
is there a place to get a Sachs replacement for stock?
I have a feeling I want to go something else
than the stock clutch.
