how much does a lightened flywheel help with acceleration/hp/reving? And how much does installation cost? I assume that most people couldn't DIY?

[right][snapback]288383[/snapback][/right] A light flywheel will noticeably improve engine responsiveness, essentially increasing acceleration speed. Its effects are something like static weight loss... It doesn't really *add* hp or anything like that. Also, I wouldn't get a 2 piece like most of the Fidanza/Clutchmaster flywheels. 2 piece flywheels can wear and fall apart under stress. My cousin blew one up in his Civic a couple years back, successfully destroying his tranny and engine. Just IMO... As for install... expect it to cost as much as a clutch install. The work is basically the same. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
