Yeah i think a guy on 1stgencelica weighed a complete bracket and pump at close to or just over 20kgs

[timbosaurus]

Yeah when I looked on amayama it was going to be around $150 or so with shipping, or maybe more.
So I went with the 2nd hand option.

That saved money can buy lots of beer!

Yeah, its 98 bucks now. May as well go that way instead of fucking with a stock gear.

Sooooooo whos been bying up big on the RG stuffs

in the last week

one Complete EFI RG with harness (looked like it had been sitting for a while

[Zammo]

It's a beast! I loved it the moment I saw it and I need a new car so I though, Why not? =P

18RG, lightened flywheel, electronic ignition, HKS Cams (Dunno the specs). It was wierd driving a car with a lightened flywheel... The engine slows down a lot quicker O__o Was trippy...

He originally wanted $4500 but settle for $2800.

[JadeEstevez]

Had a feeling it'd do that... Ahwell, I'll upload picture in my build thread when I get it tomorrow =P

Fyi timbo, we swapped over the ring gear from an old stock flywheel onto my billet flywheel last weekend.
Was pretty easy.

Bash ring gear off old flywheel with wood block
Put new flywheel in freezer
Heat up ring gear with blowtorch
Bash it on with careful timing

Winning

Bash it on with careful timing

LOL you used "bash" & "careful" in the same sentance BAHAHAHA

[The Witzl]

..... yes.
Bashing is a very technical procedure.

Shit, now you got me thinking...
