Title: lightened and balanced flywheels £79 posted - NON EXCHANGE! 2 left
Post by: PeteG40 on July 23, 2010, 07:33:46 PM
had a job done by a very reputable supplier - who copied my psd lightened one.

they are approx same weight/place removed as the psd too (which many people have used on their car for 1000s of miles).  Not too light to become useless/liable to shatter - but light enough to ensure your engine revs freeer and  engine brakes easier.

these are £69 each
can courier for £10.

Will get pics asap

less rotating mass so engine spins up quicker  and slows down quicker - so maybe not more bhp, but potentially better up and down gears, faster acceleration i suppose.

I have been looking into this and this sounds good.

What would the turn around time be if i was to send mine in to get done? If there weren't any available.

Does that price include grinding down the face for a nice flat surface again with no grooves made by the clutch or would that be extra ??

^ same question from me please, as am going from a 190 to 200mm clutch soon. Especially as yourself and Rae had a problem with this iirc?

how do they balance the flywheels?
Title: Re: lightened and balanced flywheels
Post by: PeteG40 on July 24, 2010, 06:27:53 PM
they are checked for lips - and if they have them the machine is faced down to remove the lip, to ensure a good surface.

They are balanced as stock ones are - by taking material off on the outer ring in the right places- they look like little round holes.
