LIGHT FLYWHEELS
#1
I still can't ******* figuer out if these help acceleration... I have asked many ppl and everyone says different things. Some ppl say ya i love it, it helps accelerate alot faster. Other say no, because they lose too many RPMs during shifting. What is the real deal here? Can only ppl who have the flywheels talk of experience. I hope i get to bottom of this ****.

The light flywheel helps alot in acceleration. You won't lose alot of revs if you're good at driving your car. I've had it on 2 cars, and that mod alone made a big difference. My revs drop about the same with the light fylwheel as they did without it. Launches were tricky at first, but if I launch my car at about 6K I get a quick chirp and then it just goes. I have a 9.5 lb. flywheel.

Ok, im a good driver so i think i can take advantage of it I also heard that it wears down the clutch disk a lot faster? have u noticed anything? If so i just go with a more durable longer life clutch.... And wow, so u don't notice difference in drop and u got extremely light 9.5# flywheel.. What about your idle and normal driving is it jumpy? And how about shifting vs oem flywheel?

revving at 6k and you only chirp? do you baby the hell outta the clutch? i mean i have stock flywheel with 225/50-16's and anything higher than 4.5k rpms they let loose when i pop the clutch. i have never driven a car with a lightened flywheel, so i have no idea...prolly making a fool outta myself..=)
