cheap lightweight flywheel???

I'm looking for a decent priced lightweight flywheel...Does anyone have any suggestions where I can find a good one for a good price.....The cheapest one I have found was from tweakit.net but I haven't heard much about them.....If anyone has ordered one from them please let me know and tell me how good the quality was....

Thanx.....

Just in case, STAY AWAY from a used 215mm RB aluminum flywheel. Replacement friction plate has been out of production for over 5 years.

Found this other thread about the tweakit.net one

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ht=tweakit.net

Just thought I'd put in my input. IMHO, I'd pay RB for theirs instead of dealing with overseas shipping, getting a ring gear installed and spacing the flywheel properly. But that's just me, I'm crazy like that. And I can't find a good machine shop I can trust to do things like install a ring gear.

You can use a flywheel/front counterweight from a simialar year automatic 7. Example, I can use an auto 85 flywheel in my 83 and so on and so forth. It is a bit lighter than the normal 5 speed flywheel but I am sure it would be the cheapest (junkyard).
