Lightened Flywheel

[topdog]

Putting a new clutch into the 180 and was thinking while im doing it to get a lightened flywheel also. Its a road car do a bit of messin in it but nothin major. What would be the advantages n disadvantages of one? Are they any good?

Pro - freer reving .

Con - less torque .

If ya get one make sure ya buy a factory made one a not an engineering job on your own as there just lathed and your balance will be all out an fuck your crank !

light weight flywheels are grand once not over lightened and not ran in a lathed as the balance might be wrong as above ^^^^^ it will run bearings on your crank as its off balance.
pros
free reving, faster take off, a lighter car
cons
stalling on take off, needs more gas going up hill due to loss of momentum, and loss of torque
your choice.. its a turbo so petrol is always going to be a problem as far as loss of torque throw in a decat will take care of that, and take offs probally will always be lively ha ha ha

How am I a keyboard warrior? Im not threatening you or saying anything bad to you through the laptop so how am I a keyboard warrior?? How did the bottle break? You were the last person working on the car before the wheel came loose and I said it to you so how did I TRY and blame you? I either blamed you or I didnt and I didnt blame you so stop trying to make me out to be a retard on the site by saying shit. I had the turbo fitted as you know, you got it cause you had to sort out one of the lines. Im not goin to call out to you either because im not lookin for trouble. I dont have a problem with you, I was pissed off over the bottle alright but that was about it.
