Hey guys,
My understanding is that there are not many good 5SFE flywheels out there for the Celica GT. I can have some high quality, 4140 Forged Steel, 12lb flywheels made for this application if there's enough interest out there. The cost on these flywheels will be $299 plus shipping (usually around $19). They will be made by Competition Clutch, they make very good stuff (we use their products on all of our cars). So, who would be interested in one? 1.

I've seen Fidanza and Clutchmasters applications for the GT, what makes this one different? I could use a new one, along with a clutch, as I don't know much about it at all I could use a little info!
 Obviously it helps with shifting and whatnot, are there any other gains I can receive? Also, what's the lifetime expectancy on these type of things?

All lightened flywheels for the 5SFE presently available are aluminum, this one is steel. As for aluminum flywheels, it seems its a love/hate relationship. There are many stories of them expoding into pieces during hard driving. -------------------- |

As for aluminum flywheels, it seems its a love/hate relationship. There are many stories of them expoding into pieces during hard driving. For me... it's just hate/hate. Under hard driving, because of the different expansion rates of the aluminum fly and the steel friction plate, they can potentially blow up (happened to my cousin). Steel is the only way to go. Also, a light flywheel is one of the best mods you can do for throttle response. It's one of those mods that you can instantly feel.
