flywheel?
i just purchased a clutch and am going to have it installed soon. would it be a good idea to go ahead and get a lightened flywheel and have it put in too. what gains can you get from one, besides the motor revving easier?

Oh man, I just read that thread about being kinder to people when they don't search first.
Yes, it is worth it. It really changes the feel of the car by making it more lively in low gears, easier to rev match, etc. I suppose there is some degradation of drivability, but I never found the differences to be a problem, even with the very light aluminum flywheel from Racing Beat. A friend of mine had a clutch installed and kept the stock flywheel. I let him drive my car (with a light flywheel) a few days after he got his new clutch and he took his car back to the shop the next week to get one installed.
Do a search for more information.

My beef with light flywheels is, to me, it's $150 worth of cool that costs $300-400 and requires removing the tranny to install. Not a great bang-for-the-buck mod, but they are very nice.
