Thats the second one I've seen in the last couple of weeks, other one was on a Soarer in Aus. One broken piece came through the footwell, but thankfully missed the driver legs, they do an awful lot of damage when the go:(

You should NOT lighten or generally *ugger about with cast iron (90% of stock) flywheels. If you have a perfomance engine that turns a lot more revs than standard you should be running a one piece chrome molybdenum steel flywheel. Nothing good ever comes from exploding flywheels, the energy released is awesome and a ring gear makes a crude but effective saw. If you just MUST mess with stock flywheels you should use a kevlar reinforced ballistic blanket round the bellhousing.
