Hmm...what a bummer. I really was ready for this to be part of my paycheck this month. I think a shiny flywheel and clutch setup sitting on the table would help to light a fire under my ass. Instead, I got a motorcycle this weekend....doh!
Please let us know if/when you find something out, I'm getting antsy about my swap now that I have another mode of transportation.

If I don't have it being shipped by Friday I am walking away I think? Maybe just going to talk with a local place near me and have a stock Fiero Flywheel welded and redrilled.

I just got off the phone with David and I am now being told he should get the material at the end of the week, they should be cut and ready to be shipped out early next week. I also asked him about price and he said we are still looking at $300 to $350 for the flywheels.

I was told the material should have been there Friday, they should have been cut today, the ring gear should be put on tomorrow, "Tuesday" and I would think they could start shipping them Wednesday, but that you make sense and this whole thing hasn't so who knows....but thtas what I was told.
I asked him last night if we where good to go for early this week like he said and here is what he said.
No. We contacted the material co this morning looking for our stuff and it did not ship from Mich until this morning. So it will be another week or so before it arrives. We have already scheduled the run (our cnc’s are scheduled a month in advance so this last go around really $#^^$* us up) We weren’t going to be able to run these for about 30 days but we shuffled our high volume stuff around to get these in shortly after the material arrives.
So when are they going to start cutting the flywheels? This week?

Know that you are driving an American V8. There are finer engines made, but none that are this cool.

Yes things have happened and I have posted my N* 4 sale, but I will still help getting things done for the rest of you guys, besides this is just me having to back step for a few, I so I may still need it someday soon?
JM - If/When you get the setup, please let us know what you think. It sounds like you're ready to start buttoning things up, so hopefully you can get some fitment feedback fairly quickly. I'll be right in line with my credit card if everything checks out. Thanks.

I talked to him today, they should all be made today and if not all of them they all will be done tomorrow. They can not be shipped until Friday due to the hurricane and at the latest on Monday. Again here is the e-mail I got from him, and I did call him also.
Yes, they are in production today. I don't know if they will finish today-if not it may be Fri or Mon due to hurricane Ivan. It hits us tomorrow.
They would have been done last week, but the hurricane got us. The CNC’s were out of commission from Wed. afternoon until today. The Northstars are in there now. They will finish tomorrow, be assembled tomorrow afternoon and Thurs morning, and likely ship Thurs morning as well..
Thanks!

How'd that turn out?
------------------ Turn the key and feel the engine shake the whole car with its lope; Plant the gas pedal and feel in your chest neither a shriek nor a wail but a bellowing roar; Lift and be pushed into the harness by compression braking that only comes from the biggest cylinders while listening to music of pops and gurgles. Know that you are driving and American V8. There are finer engines made, but none of them are this cool.
