Title: lightened flywheel
Post by: doog on 16 February 2009, 21:20:22

I plan to change my clutch this summer and thouht i would get the flywheel lightened at the same time I read somewhere the flywheel on the omega is a heavy chunk of steel  and slows up the engines ability to rev

anyone done this before?

dont fall for the hype.

The only difference is the ability to rev quicker in neutral.

Wow.

I would be really interested to hear how any machine shop can lighten a dual mass fly wheel  :y
