Ebay light weight flywheel
Before you all hate me, looking for someone who has actually seen/felt one of these

F1 Forged 11lbs Lightweight Chromoly Flywheel Mazda RX 7 Turbo FD 04 08 RX 8 | eBay

a lot of people talk crap about inexpensive parts who have never actually used them, maybe this flywheel is complete crap? maybe it will work fine for what i want? let me know what your guys think

Never mind, I'm wrong about the incompatibility.

Yes, they are compatible apparently. The flywheel is the same from FC & on. It's the counterweight that needs to be specific (i.e. S4 counterweight, S5 counterweight, etc.)
