Yeh I was kinda leaning towards the F1 flywheel from 949, but was just interested when I came across this one.

I have a 1.6 Fidanza flywheel in my NA8, and it looks pretty much exactly the same as that one.

Think you'll find that ebay link is a genuine Fidanza flywheel.

Good to see another motorsport specialist starting to target the MX5 market. Does anyone know who it is?

They probably all come out of the same supply factory in China, and Fidanza just brand them.

I'm not so sure they're just selling cheap stuff. Look at their website and they're carrying mostly genuine race brands and products. That's why I asked do we know them.

Phil,

Yes, getting known within the Vic club.
Myself, Logan. Randy, Bruce, Lindy, Rob all have been customers there to date..

Speaking to the owner Dean last time I was there, he is a very genuine guy who is happy to talk and doesnt try to sell you stuff you dont need. He said he has done state level racing with HQs, 944 series and now building a Saloon car. He ran a couple of general workshops in Adelaide a few years ago and moved back to Melbourne last year and started this business with a focus more on motorsport stuff.

His prices seem competitive (he had 10% off for MX5 club members when I got my stuff (not sure if that offer is still going?) and his service is good, so I've been very happy with my dealings with him...
