flywheel question
is it possible to take some weight off of the stock flywheel? like say taking it from 18 down to 16lbs? or is generally advised not to do so? reason i ask is i'm getting it resurfaced for a clutch install next weekend, so the thought kinda crossed my mind.

You will need to find someone who can rebalance it, the counter balance ismade with the wheel .I did not find anyone to do it years ago .I did have my steel aftermarket flywheel lightened by milling holes around the outer rim . The counter balance is bolted on .

18 to 16lbs doesn't sound too bad, but I don't think it's a good idea to shave it period. These things are engineered to have the right heat expansion/dissipation characteristics and shaving them down is not a good idea... I've head of shaved flywheels both badly warping and even shattering. Get an aluminum one. My experience (with other cars) has been that they are worth the cost several times over.
