WOW what a disappointment...

just got my adapter plate and flywheel to mount the 1.8t to the toyota trans... all i have to say is what an overpriced piece of shit it is... flywheel is a 32lb monster stock toyota flywheel that is "custom redrilled" from the toyota to the vw crank bolt pattern - what a joke. the adapter plate is a nice anodized yellow piece, and came with new bolts - but at $600 for the plate, flywheel, and a chintzy looking oilite pilot bushing, it could have come with a reach around and a kiss on the back...

ACME Adapters sucks!

no way there is anywhere close to the $600 asking price in R&D and materials. the stock flywheel is $40 at Advance Auto. pay some monkey $10/hr to use a drill press to "customize" the bolt pattern. the plate probably has about $50 in plate steel and $10 in bolts, and $20 in anodizing... rip off...

oh, and i will have the plate measured and put into CAD - i plan on making a much improved version as well as an actual UN-redrilled flywheel and an actual bearing as a kit for, oh, about half the price... i had all the measurements, but i thought i'd give the "professionals" a chance and buy their kit. sorry i did - should have used my own measurements i had and made my own first... live and learn.
