    Engine swaps can be hilarious. For ages now, there have been plenty of people doing crazy stuff like squeezing Chevy V8s into RWD Volvo wagons and propulsion from a Hayabusa in the back of a Smart. But the Porsche 911 powered by a Toyota Echo engine takes it. It's just the most ridiculously fantastic one.

      It isn't fucked up. But (and correct me if I am wrong) I have heard that you should have the flywheel resurfaced when installing a new clutch.

        Only if there is excessive burn in the flywheel surface. Surface burn looks warped and blue in the sun; that's why you need to resurface it. If there is no surface burn and it is flat, you can get away with 800 grit sandpaper.

        Sources:

        EDIT:
        Most people DO opt to resurface because most want to lighten the flywheel as well as a "while-I'm-in-there" thing, which you WILL have to resurface because the surfaces will be uneven from the lightening

        IMO; the stock "i" flywheel is light enough as it is. You will see marginal gains going from 18lbs to the r3v-consensus'd 14lbs. The extra clutch noise an road harshness isn't worth it
