Aluminum Flywheels

Fidanza Engineering Corporation has released aluminum flywheels for the Mitsubishi Lancer and Lancer Evolution X. Due to their lightweight design, the flywheels require roughly one-third less energy to turn, freeing up horsepower that otherwise is expended to turn the heavier stock flywheel. Fidanza’s aluminum flywheels are made from lightweight, high-quality machined 6061 T6 aluminum. A warp-proof 1050 steel friction surface and CNC-machined fastener holes and chamfers finish off the package. Incredibly durable, the flywheels can be paired with just about any clutch disc material available, from organic to Kevlar and even sintered iron. The product is finished with a heat-treated ring gear and military grade fasteners. The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer and EVO X aluminum flywheels are fully SFI-approved.

Fidanza Engineering Corp.Air Helper Springs

Firestone Industrial Products Company announces its Ride-Rite air helper springs are now available for 2005-2008 Isuzu N-Series cab forward trucks, both Regular Cab and Crew Cab. The Isuzu cab forward Ride-Rite kit maximizes the truck’s load support to improve its ride quality and stability, by using air pressure to adjust Firestone’s air helper springs. In addition to smoothing the ride, Firestone’s Ride-Rite systems help maintain braking effectiveness, reduce tire wear, level off-centre loads–individual inflation valves allow for separate sideto-side adjustment–and increase vehicle stability. A pair of Ride-Rite air springs provides up to 5,000 pounds of load-levelling capacity. The Isuzu Ride-Rite kit (part #2440) includes everything needed for easy installation and comes with a twoyear limited warranty.
