Is this clutch/fw still good? Any idea what brand it is?

Pulled the trans today and found this clutch in the car. Original owner said it was a centerforce dual friction with a fidanza flywheel. This clearly doesnt look like a CF clutch and that part number on the disc itself just brings up el cheapo parts. The one pic looks like the disc is starting to fall apart.

The flywheel, which he left loose, is blue. Ive never seen a blue fidanza flywheel before. Any idea what brand it is or if its ok to reuse?

The clutch disc appears to be made by Aisin, so it's basically a stock clutch disc.

I just re-read the ad for the car the seller had posted. He actually stated its a clutchmasters flywheel, not fidanza. After looking, it looks like that may be correct. But from the looks of it, does it look like if i just sand it, it will be alright?

Thanks for the info on the clutch disc. I wasnt sure is aisin was oem or knockoff oem. Does that small area on the side thats circled look like it will cause an issue?

Regarding the flywheel, Id just order a new surface for it if youre putting in a new clutch. That disc is almost toast, so at least replace that. Also, if you plan to launch the car a lot then you should get rid of the aluminum flywheel entirely as the aluminum cannot dissipate the heat fast enough and the surface will warp and cause serious problems.

Replace friction disc. Might be a Clutchmasters, might be a Fidanza. I counted 20 bolts holding the disc on. I checked out an ad for another AWD 7 bolt Clutchmasters and I counted 18. Might have been revised. Fidanza revised theirs from 18 to 20 as well. Check the back for a part number. Verify the step afterwards once you replace the disc. Replace the clutch as well.
