1.8 FLYWHEEL OR LIGHTEND STEEL FLYWHEEL!

longer thrust bearing than standard

1.8 clutches are a bit wimpy and will slip at about 150 bhp. If you use the mondeo clutch use release bearing Quinton Hazel CCT133.
If you get the flywheel drilled for a sierra clutch and organic plate it will take 200 easily and use the standard sierra bearing.
