Dude, don't replace your clutch without getting a lightweight SMFW. It's one of the best upgrades you can get for every day driving.

yep the chatter noise from outside is fun :laugh: i thought about smfw since its 11 ibs lighter, until i saw some videos of chatter and go for regular dmfw instead, i mean hey at least people won't be curious in traffic thinking my car could be broken

Was barely noticeable on the S4 or Z06, seems like the Yaris motor shouldn't be much worse if any but I could be wrong. No noise at idle, no noise above ~1600 RPM, and some light chatter under load from 1000-1600.

My car had the lightweight SMF from 034 on it when I met you guys, what did it sound like?

I think the bigger engines might do a better job of suppressing the noise, honestly, but I don't recall being around the S4 when it was idling.

You might also have a higher tolerance for NVH #becauseracecardriver.

I have no experience with those cars, but on my 350z, it was super obvious inside and outside of the car. It had a super loud clicking anytime the engine was under load at low rpm (anything under 3K) that just sounded like my car was broken. People would look and stare in parking lots, and my passengers would ask what was broken. It really took some of the fun out of driving the car, because I would try to avoid the rpm where it would make the noise. I did enjoy the way it made the engine rev and shift more quickly, but it wasn't even close to worth it imo.

Weird. No one ever even noticed the chatter in the S4 unless I turned off the radio and HVAC and crawled around a parking lot in 2nd gear pointing out the faint grinding noise to them. Guess it varies a lot depending on the particular engine and/or flywheel. This was a 13 lb machined aluminum piece compared to the 27 lb stock dual-mass unit. It was by far my favorite upgrade on that car.

It sounds like balls. I've only ever heard it on a WRX, but it still sounded awful. Didn't seem worth the small benefit, IMO.

Crappy bathroom lighting, but this is it:




I've had it for about 7 years or so, it needs to be touched up really bad.

Geez I had no idea the regular DMFW was so freaking heavy! nearly 30 lbs? that's a lot to rotate compared to 12 lbs.

Yeah, if you can imagine it, it was worse when I bought the house. That bathroom....ugh...the walls, tile, door, and ceiling were all green.
