TODA Chromoly Flywheel / TRD Kevlar Clutch
|  Well, I finally got my lightweight flywheel in, and I was then able to make this modification. I have had the TRD clutch since January, but I have been trying to raise the $green$ to buy a flywheel so that I could do both upgrades at the same time. And I am very glad that I waited. |

The TRD Pressure plate and Kevlar clutch disk come
out to 3.4 lbs. heavier then the stock pressure plate and disk. That sucks really, but if it is going
to lock up better, then I don't really care about the weight! So in essence, I paid $400 for the
flywheel, just to weigh the entire setup together to find out that the overall weight is only 4.5
pounds lighter. |

| The guys over at TODA Racing are very attentive and polite over the phone. The only trouble I had was that they were always on the line, and so I had to leave a voice message. But they called me back the next day, and business resumed as usual. I dealt with Ali. He had just gotten back from a vacation, so he was in and out of the office all of the time, so I spoke to a different guy. I think his name was Allen. He was cool also. I like TODA, and the quality of their wheel is superb. If you are in the market, then give TODA a shot! | ||||||

| I
bought my TRD Kevlar racing clutch in a group purchase from Toysport. I hate Toysport. They are jerks.
Especially Mike. He has treaded me like shit and I do not like Toysport much because of this. As you can see, the clutch disk on the left is the Group Purchase, and the disk to the right is the REAL TRD kevlar clutch disk. I think my pressure plate is the same, but I am not sure. Anyways, once my disk goes away, I can just buy the proper one. That's what I get for trying to save a few $$ by using a GP! The picture to the side was my idea to make a Hybrid TRD/Centerforce pressure plate. The idea was
thrown out the window when I bolted the pressure plate down on the flywheel. The step on the flywheel
is so great, that the fingers of the TRD pressure plate would become flat. So having weights would
serve no purpose due to zero outwardly centrifugal forces. |
