I've been told you will get a minimum of three machines out of it before you will need to do this.
Whether or not you will have to machine between clutch changes depends on the clutch type and how hard you slip it. I would think with a fibre clutch there is a good chance you won't have to but I cannot say for sure.
These flywheels kick butt over a fidanza for two reasons. PAR concentrate all the weight into the centre of the flywheel instead of the outside. Its about where the weight is as much as how heavy it is.
Also a steel flywheel is always better than aluminium. It is rigid and won't bend and flutter under high clutch loads. It also won't crack or shatter.
these are serious race part for made by a reputable company.
