8lb flywheel experiment
How do you guys think an 8lb flywheel we react on the f23?? I'm being optimistic, but I'm expecting the worst. I'm just too curious to see what happens that I'm not gonna return the wheel. So let me know what you guys predict. I will have some results when I put it in the week after next.
EDIT*****
Results: I couldn't wait so I installed the goodies on friday. First of all it is a bitch of a job!!! In the end it doesn't seem too hard, but during the disassembly process it the work seemed to get greater and greater.
The car revs up and down significantly faster. There is NO drawback in drivability. Starting out is the same as always. Maybe a tad more gas, but I might be saying that couse ppl were warning me about it. Really its no big deal to drive it at all. I was suprised at how smooth it works. The engine feels a lot better when driving around and shines in high rpm. the very low rpm is a bit sluggish though. Overall I like the new flywheel.
I took it to trial at autocross and it was a nice experiance. I know I know there is a break in, but it did get about 130mi of smi light usage before dumping it at auto-x.

haven't pulled the stalker out yet, but I know when I was dealing with a 1.5l civic the flywheel was much much heavier than the one I just got.
As long as I can get it going without being slow as shit it should be fun to drive. I'm guessing my acceleration can only be better right? I don't mind quick shifts or bumping up the gas whil shifting.

i had a fidanza light weight flywheel when i had my f23 in my 99 accord. i felt a drifference. a lil better acceleration. and it didnt take alot of rpm to get it gonig actually it had my car feeling quicker. then i mated it with act clutch kit. had my heavy ass accord shirping on 4th gear on rated 150hp stock motor. hahah so go for it man.
