Lightweight Flywheel Issues, Anyone else have these? Options

[Coomer]

Hi,
Since I've gotten the car back, I've begun to hate my lightweight flywheel. I'm thinking that now my next modification will be a stock AE86 flywheel.

The main problem I have with the flywheel is the fact that the engine and entire car shudders horribly whenever the engine sees below 1,600 RPM or so and the car is in gear. Whether I'm starting from a stop, or driving really slow in a parking lot, the car will shudder horribly if it sees low RPMs. When starting from a stop, I have to rev the car all the way up to at least 1,600 RPM or so...it feels like I'm slipping the clutch, and that's why it's so hard to get used to. I always want to give it less gas, but then the car shudders so badly.

Also, this makes it near impossible to start quickly from a start without spinning the tires. Whenever I try, the engine simply bogs down and shakes when I try to start quickly from a stop.

Does anyone else have this problem with their lightweight flywheel?

well Coomer,

I have driven a CRX with a lighten flywheel and i had to rev the engine to 1500 rpm b4 i could get it to roll.. I guess you will just have to get use to it and ride the clutch longer.
