Anyone got any advice on lighter flywheels, should I even look into it or is it not really worth it. Also would like ballpark figures on install and whatnot. Thanks

A lighter flywheel will allow the engine to rev faster and is about 12 lbs lighter. They have to be broken in carefully because you can slip the clutch in the beginning stages if not done correctly. The price depends on where you get it and whether or not you have to pay the middle man.

Yup, I love mine, but they suck in bumper to bumper traffic.

Not really worth it on a stock motor. The lower mass and consequential lower rotational inertia from a stock motor will make it harder to drive without feeling like you're learning manual all over again. An aluminum drive shaft would be a better option if you're looking to lower rotational mass.

what do you love about it?
what do you hate about it in bumper to bumper traffic?

The ngine really revs quickly. As far as traffic, with the flywheel and spec clutch...there is NO slipping the clutch, it's either in or out.

Obselite

did you stall a lot at first?

I still hate goin up those big hills with stop signs at the top of them...or traffic lights

what are the benefits of the engine reving quicker other than a higher launch?

code3GT

I killed it ALOT, when I first started driving it. As far as the revs, it's unbelievable how fast they climb.

Obselite

what's the biggest difference in the shift patterns...once you get the hang of it is it easier to take off or harder?
but mainly, why is it so much easier to kill? I would think that with higher rpm's it would be easier...

Theres less rotating mass, so when u let out the clutch it is easier to stop it
