Digsy Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I think Chris and I may have slightly different views on what constitutes "longevity" because of our different backgrounds :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure as hell can't afford an exotic road car AND a temperamental racer Not unless the market for emu chicks has a most remarkable about change, and the old girl starts laying like a machine gun spits bullts!

Paul Whiffin Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Go for the RPS flywheel, just happen to have a slightly used one for sale out of my car if needed as well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted January 11, 2004 Author Share Posted January 11, 2004 Right people, Just wanted to say thanks for everyone replying to this thread. Nice to hear a wide variation in opinions on the subject of lightened flywheels. Just wanted to clarify that I had no intentions of personally trying to lighten the stocker, I wondered if it was physically possible and whether anybody had done it in the past. A change of flywheel is miles away for me, upgrade wise (sorry Paul) and probably something I'll never do anyway unless it was coupled with a dedicated rebuild, and even then I wouldn't definately go for it. May invest in an uprated clutch when its due so i'll be after opinions then. Cheers guys Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Light flywheel gives better downchanges when you heel and toe, and not a lot more on the road. Now is the time to admit who can heel and toe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
