ACT Lightweight Flywheel R53 R52 Cooper S

Category: Drivetrain
Price: $200
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): R52, R53
Location (Region): SouthEast
Item Condition: Used

SOLD!

Used on the street for 50k miles with a Clutch Master stage 1 setup, but in good shape. No cracks. Sold as pictured, no hardware. You'd need to buy new anyway.
Really a nice flywheel if you are looking for light weight. Durable solid steel instead of the 11lb alum with inserts, etc. 13.8 lbs vs almost 30 stock.

Price is not including shipping. Actual shipping charges to be applied to final charge. PayPal accepted.
Local pickup strongly preferred. Located in Greenville, SC 29605
Willing to meet within a reasonable distance.

How was the setup with the clutchmasters stage 1 clutch? Was the clutch gone after 50K, or are you replacing for other reasons?

Oh no, the clutch was no where near gone. I loved the setup, but for the street, it was a little tiring. I only changed it out because I wanted to go back to stock. It's just easier, more comfortable. Plus, I had an oil pan leak I was fixing at the same time.
I actually have another setup I'm selling of a friend's wrecked R53 that has the stage 2 full face Kevlar discuss. He loved it. Haven't gotten around to getting pics of it yet.

Okay, good to know. Any chance you have any experience with the ACT street clutch that's often paired with this flywheel?

I have a 6-speed in an R50 and I'm hoping to find a setup that's much lighter, so closer to what a stock R50 setup weighs, while still being very drivable for a daily driver.

Unfortunately, no. I waited and waited and waited for the ACT setup (disk and PP) to be released when I bought the flywheel, and ultimately had to go with the CM setup.
With that being said, I have installed quite a few of the ACT setups in other cars, and they have always performed very well. Probably the most comparable would be a SC'd Miata. I can't remember if it was an NA or NB, or 1.6 or 1.8, but again, it worked very well.

One thing I did notice with the CM was that it wanted to be on or off (one big reason I went back to stock). I am guessing that was the compound, but maybe the PP. I have never had that with an ACT setup.

If you are looking to use this on a non-S model, I would think it would be a good match.

EDIT: I do not know if this will bolt up to a naturally aspirated crank. I'm embarrassed to say, but I just don't know.

Thanks for the extra info. Most folks seem to say good things about the ACT setup. If I end up picking this up I think its either the ACT clutch and pressure plate or an Exedy one from their single mass flywheel conversion kit.

This won't fit the normal R50, but since mine has a 6-speed from an R53, it will bolt right up.
