          Do you have a part number? There appear to be many a flywheel that would work and their layout on the site leaves a bit to be desired...too many products with no real information.

            By their site, the following should work too:

              Your links don't work, but they have 3 flywheels that I see on their website; m60, m62, and m60 for use with M3 clutch. TTV told me that they can make an m62 flywheel for use with the M3 clutch as well (they would just add the trigger wheel for the CPS).

              Just contact them if you're interested...

                Yes, mine is the M60 with the M3 clutch. If you have M62, you'd need a different one.

                      Just want to say no updates and going on vacation next week...
                      Heads are at the machine shop, I got a new fuse box and random connectors and Raychem to build a new engine harness, and I installed my floor-mount pedal box.
                      Yes, floor mount. I'm short :D :D

                        How bad is the flex with the floor mount pedal?

                          0 flex. I first cut and welded some strips to the floor, to make it completely flat, then I cut a thick steel plate, drilled and with helicoils for the pedal box. That plate is welded to the now-flat floor, and some reinforcements are welded to the sides and back to the seat mounting points.
                          Cut a hole in the carpet and voila, done. Looks good once everything is installed, I fit fine and, as far as I can tell, there's no flex. I've done some other cars the same way and never an issue, but I guess I'll let you know for sure when I take it to the track.

                            Well, if it doesn't feel like it's flexing and the clutch disengages fine, it's probably not flexing. Besides, it sounds like you did do it the legit way anyway.

                              Well, haven't done much lately... by not much I mean nothing! I just installed the new fusebox inside the car and this weekend I'll start re-wiring everything. I also have a reservoir for the pedalbox, and I got my x-mas present, because I'm such a good boy :D










                              And now, for the xmas present...




                              I also have a Race Technology dash2, but I find it too modern for the M3. Everytime I see the stack, boner
