I just bought a clutch (Centerforce dual friction) and i have been looking for a flywheel for the past hr or so. Why are they so expensive?! Damn i wish i had a civic (not)...Well is it really worth the money? If so i guess ill start saving up rolleyes.gif ...lemme know if any of u have flywheels and really saw 500 dollars worth of improvement....thanks in advance

i dont see a loss of power except between shifts...
again with intertia, the flywheel is lighter so it can get up their easier, but when the drivetrain connects to it, since it is lighter it looses more speed to let the rest of the system catch up.


no i did not literally mean revving revving

i can't think of what to call it...
powerband wont work
acceleration wont

but "flywheel allows youto get thru those gears quicker, increasing acceleration" is exactly what i've been saying.

i personally think the revving of an engine is bad for it smile.gif sure it's made to do it, but i'd prefer it be done with resistance.
