What's up all? Does anyone know any info, good or bad, on light weight billet aluminum flywheels for 5th gen ludes? Do they last and is the the difference worth the money? Thanks.

good for n/a but i'm gonna get rid of mine when i go turbo......more driveable......you won't feel much of a difference really but it allows you to rev it faster.....won't benefit you much except for autoX or something similar....everyday driving, an intake would do a lot more for you....

Well, I've done almost everything possible to my motor, just wondering if the light weight flywheel would make any difference as far as raceing. Cause I'm about to replace my cluth soon, just thought maybe I should hook up a flywheel while I'm at it.

stock is about 16lbs or so....i have the clutchmasters flywheel that is 9.8lbs or whatever, less than 10 anyway......it's not a big deal and isn't harder to drive.....people will tell you that, but they basically just can't drive a manual tranny car IMO.....i'm in traffic a lot, on the interstate a lot, etc....i just don't like the way they require a super fast shift on a turbo car or the rpm (along with boost) will be on the low side.....

I agree with fizzbob. I have the fidanza like 8.5ish I think and everyones told me not to get it revs will drop too fast etc. Im perfectly fine driving in traffic though. I cant compare it to stock though because I put this in when I did the swap. but overall I would reccomend it.

I use the fidanza 7.5lbs in my gsr. I love it, it's not hard to drive at all. It i swell worth it, especially if you are already taking off the transmission to replace the clutch.
