i have to have some work done on my transmission and clutch and i was wondering if there is a company that makes a light weight flywheel for the cavaliers, and also i was wondering if it would be worth it to put on in. I have a 99 cavalier Z24 with around 115,000 miles. thanks guys

If you plan on keeping the car, it would be worth it IMO.
Fidanza and Spec brand aluminum flywheels are identical. Except Fidanza is a lot cheaper.
We sell both at www.turbotechracing.com and have all fidanza flywheels in stock.
Also we now carry Spec cluths and are offering 10% off MSRP on any J-body clutch. Email us for details.

i have a lighter flywheel on my car and i must say it made it more of a joy to drive. it might be hard at first because it will rev alot easier than before. also, if you like to slow down by downshifting it won't be a effective with a lighter flywheel. it does "free up" horsepower tho by making it less work to spin the flywheel.
i have one and enjoy it have had it for 2 years now. I am not regretting it.

wow, thanks for all the input guys. keep it comming, Manitoba Motorsports why do you say it is a waste of money?
I've had my spec flywheel and stage 3 clutch for 6 months now, and no complaints. It helps a lot when accelerating, and that clutch grabs real tight.

I've had that setup for over 3 years now. Love it.

It's up to you to decide which you'd rather win.
Any comments on how it helped accelleration? Many folks say it actually slowed them down. One guy said he went from mid-15's to low 16's with a Fidanza flywheel. My interest is drag racing, not necessarily auto-x or others. So I'd like info. on how they work with purely drag focus.
1) How is accelleration off the line?
2) How is accelleration from a roll?
Many were concerned because now there's less mass there, so the RPMs fall faster when you let off. Anyone actually become slower w/ light flywheel?
i havent been slower with a flywheel. I will say you shift slow you may loose some time with the RPM drop you are a fast shifter you will see some gain.

when I downshift, i still slow down just as much as with a stocker...
acceleration wise, I think it helped a lot
of course, I didn't just do the clutch n flywheel I swapped the motor too so I guess my opinion is a lil shaky since there's so many variables
also where is a good place to buy a master/slave cylinder and new clutch?

The slave cylinder comes with the SPEC clutch kit. The master cylinder can be found at a NAPA or Autozone.

Ok, you've convinced me, I just ordered a fidanza from you guys, nice to see some more j-body support coming in.
