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.

I don't know if my lightweight flywheel affects my idling(I think it's more my solid front engine mount which makes my car idle rough), but it does make the car a lot less drivable. My JUN flywheel only weighs 9 lbs., and it makes the car way harder to drive.
