John, 

"whole rotational assembly needs to be balanced as a unit" 

is this what you mean ?

I dropped off the FW, PP, SD and bolts. All had alignment marks for when being installed.

See 6 O'clock to 9, not sure 3pedals, Ron, William  (good to have you back)

Confirming it was 7.9 lbs

If I recall correctly Mark (@sweetm3) got a lightened UUC flywheel and it was woefully out of balance when it arrived. Caveat emptor.

Hi guys, it was a UUC M3 kit. UUC Stage2/M5 clutch combo (I love it)

UUC are excellent to deal with. Do you have a link to this or do you know what the outcome was ??

Sorry the info I put on my project has gone. Site went down a few years back and I didnt have the info backed up.

Mark got his flywheel machined and balanced over here, they took off a fair bit to get it right as I understand. I think it was a UUC one, @sweetm3 would need to confirm.  

Dave is right, 

I took Josh advice and gave the unit to an Engineering shop in New Lynn to have it checked.. They did the balancing and said that it was wayyyy out. And I was lucky that I  brought it in.

Thanks again Josh

From UUC web site flywheel weight 8.5 lbs, once balanced I think I was around the mid to high 7's.

I've been waiting 14 days for a purchase from PBtech ......... it has been sitting at East Tamaki all this time

Anyone know whats happened to Dave and his projects threads ?

If you're building a shed, you're stupid not to at least design in the space for a hoist. Even if you dont get one now, it will give you the option down the track without having to redo the flooring or the roof.

You should have a look over on the Oldschool forum, if you havent already, there are a couple of threads on their sheds.

"Not stupid", if cost is a restraint. But if you can work into your budget an area if not the whole roof. 

I went with the Quickjack, because I didn't have an option re headroom.

I was looking at this https://www.maxjax.com/maxjax/ or similar so I could set it  up outside.

My dream garage would have a drive over pit as well. ?

Mid way through the lock-down and I'm jealous of those with car projects underway.

I did a search of my garage and found 2 sets of  Bushes for the pedal supporting bracket.

Add these to my new black pedal set, I've gota project.

 This project all going well should take 1-3 hrs, I stretched it out for 4 days     (more pictures added)

Have been eyeing up the proper  oem ltw adjustable front splitter tho....

Mmmmm it would be a nice addition, if my car wasn't lowered, if my car was a dedicated track weapon.

M3an (Dave) beat me to nice piece of kit,........... thankfully as I would have destroyed it.

Bugger, they are definitely a consumable ? on my part

Tried to finish the rear calipers and rotors install,

took half a day to remove drivers side rotor. ?

Installed calipers went to replace brake hoses only  to find one of the hard line fittings is rounded.

Will try looking for a replacement tomorrow.
