Lightweight flywheel and upgraded clutch.

It doesn't cut down reliability and actually makes your motor work less.

I just got those items installed and it is like a new car. Turbo spools up faster and getting off the line is much quicker.

if your lucky you can pick up an FC that is like 99% compleate at a junk yard for $300. most of the time they just blew a tranny or some thing stupid. every thing else is good. one of my firends found a TII at a yard compleate just brought in. he picked it up for $300 we brought it home. found out only thing wrong with it was the diff some how broke. and would not let the back wheels spin. got a new diff for $200 and for $500 he had a running TII.

he was one lucky bastered.

if all thats wrong is a bad trany, get a trany form a junk yard slap it on and sell the car you can get the trany for around 100-150 at the yard. so for around 250 you have a running fc that you can sell for around 2-3k if its in good condition. easy money.

just my $0.02
