vs
Flywheel Exedy or VALEO
Valeo SMF if you’re sticking with NA power. It’s a little noisier but much better feel than a DMF, and much cheaper also.
Pros: better feel than DMF
Cons: a little noisier
Gearbox is a major step up in almost all metrics; no jerkyness when launching from 1st gear a lot smoother idle, less noise, vibrations. I have a lightweight SMF, probably with DMF it will be even less long gears, feels super nice on the highway the car is super quiet, feel like its 500-1000 rpm less while cruising. didnt check mpg yet though acceleration is butter smooth, especially pulling 4th gear, big wow feels like you're taking of with a private jet Some downsides clutch pedal is stiff cable shifting isnt as smooth as with the 020
Pros: smoother idle, less noise
Cons: clutch pedal is stiff
Eventually i'll move to a Super Miata organic or the FM Happymeal, but the Exedy does the job, and the price cant be beat tbh
Pros: price cant be beat
Part number: 10036

I have a stock flywheel and kept vibration dampening. However, the Exedy Stage 1 is still noisy at times, noisier than stock.
Pros: vibration dampening
Cons: noisy at times
I got a Valeo flywheel. but it didn't fit.
Cons: did not fit
I opted for a lightweight flywheel along with oem style exedy clutch. 1/10 don’t recommend lightweight flywheel. Seems such a small motor is constantly chugging at low speeds. It’s fun but it’s a neck breaker.
Pros: fun
Cons: neck breaker, motor chugging
