Hi .. However, much to my misfortune I've just found out that my Stock Flywheel is absolutely, positively fcuked! Found this out when my RPS clutch was being replaced :( So abit peeved! :mad:

 

I want replace it with a stock flywheel .. I'm not keen on the lightened flywheels. For those people that have lightened flywheels - what has been your experience with them day-to-day driving ? I know that it allows higher RPM due to the lightened rotational mass of the flywheel but is noisy and gives a lumpy idle so to combat this the idle is raised at the ECU.

 

Maybe a long shot but does anybody have stock flywheel that is in good working order that they want to sell ?

Got an RPS lightweight flywheel in mine. Noise is only a problem when it get's hot, but dipping the clutch shuts it up

 

The first thing i noticed was i had to rev higher when pulling out of the parking space when i pick up the car (stalled it 3 times getting out but had a street max clutch put in at the same time so may have been me :))

 

Driving the changes i noticed were didn't make much difference when not on boost once the turbo's where on line it made a noticeable improvement to acceleration when slowing down under engine braking the car would slow and stop quicker.

 

As chance would have it I have an RPS lightweight flywheel for sale if you want it. :innocent:
