Default Textralia Customer Service Tops!

I want to publicly thank Jeff, the US distributor for the "Aussie" clutch, for his outstanding customer service.
He just happen to see a post I made this weekend about installing the Fidanza flywheel in my car and contacted me saying it wouldn't work with the Aussie clutch informing me of the long term problems that would incur due to the incompatibilities of the two different metals involved.
He even went out of his way to hand deliver a new Textralia aluminum flywheel to LG Motorsports so they could continue on with the work on my car.
Not only this, but he also contacted me several times earlier this year when I first had the clutch installed with the stock flywheel wanting to know how the clutch was performing.
Folks, this is customer service at its best! A great clutch and service to back it up!
Here's a pic of the new Textralia lightweight flywheel.
It's made using a special laser, metal fusing process and only weighs 6 1/2 lbs.

You're saying the flywheel only weighs 6 pounds! My Fidanza weighs 14 and that's way lighter than stock. Should be very interesting driving in traffic w/ such a light weight flywheel, but it'l rev super fast.

for Jeff and his product. He's always around to answer any calls or concerns you might have. So far I'm happy with my Aussie and the new flywheel. Next spring's track visits will hopefully back up the reputation that the Aussie has.

I second the thanks to Jeff. I had a SPEC with problems and Jeff got my LG ordered Textralia out FedEx next morning delivery for my C6 and answered our every question about installation including some about the SPEC that was coming out.

I really have a hard time believing it's that light... stock is like 25 and my fidanza is 14 or so.

I did not weigh my Textralia flywheel, but I did carry it to the garage from the FedEx truck. IT is light. The only carbon steel is the starter ring. No inserts,no bolts or rivets to hold the disk seat in place. The SPEC and Fidanza has a lot of excess. I have had both in my hands.This is a high tech flywheel. Call Textralia I am sure they will give you an exact weight.
I am sorry to say I only drove my C6 about 35 miles from the garage that I had my Textralia installed to home because the snow
was in the air,
