Does this seem credible to you? if it true i'm sure it would add alot more kick to your celica.

Flywheels are heavy from the factory for a reason; replacing them with a lighter one almost always causes smooth idling to suffer (esp if the cam timing is the same). Why? Because the job of the flywheel is to smooth out firing pulses, vibration harmonics, and torsion twist. The most cost effective way, from a manufactuing stand point, is weight. Remove weight, remove the benefits. It's a give or take situation.

Thats correct, but it all comes down to what different people consider streetable. I don't have any problem with a slightly rougher idle (its really not bad) or with car that requires a little more clutch work to get it going. Some people aren't down with that.
