Lightweight fly wheels, yes or no?
Sorry for the late reply I have been away on holiday..
After gathering all the information I was after for my own piece of mind so that I had a little bit more knowledge of what to expect from different set-ups, the garage who has done all the work on my car (Indigo GT) we decided that the Exedy stadge 1 organic clutch pink box would be fine for my needs as there will be no modifications in terms of more BHP in the future
Not all clutches are judder free, so don’t expect that for one minute, with the 2.5 engine putting in a lighted flywheel can sometimes through up fault codes, as I had no problems with the standard flywheel I see no benefit to change it for the way I use my car

having gone from standard to lightweight flywheel. i found the engine revved up better and felt more responsive but slightly harder to pull off from a standing start.
reading some of the posts here i suggest some members google what benefits light weight flywheels offer as its nothing at all to do with weight saving.

Over the larst few hours I have been looking into the flywheel . There is some grate advice on the web about witch kits work best for what car & wether you want it for race or road . It makes good reading . & I did not no much about this flywheel thing. But then u can not no it all . Well some do and seem to have done all the upgrades that come up on hear .Lol. I do like the posts that gets put on hear as it gets u looking into things that I would never of done . At 1st I did think it was about lossing wight , as I have heard that some owners even take the AC to loss wight. But it's nice to no what a light wight flywheel duz .
I would love to do a corse in this stuff , but then that's why I go to power engernering . They have never let me down yet. Think I will keep my flywheel standard as my car is boxs standard anyway lol. No point in doing a fly wheel when my car is only pushing 100bhp . Down hill 110bhp. But with the nitrus Kit it will be pushing 120bhp £1000 well spent. For 10 BHP more .

I put in a brand new flywheel in as well as the clutch, so no need to get my one skimmed

To be honest I have only driven it back from the garage to my house about 10 miles, but it did feel a lot lighter than the original one
I have been away on holiday since then, however I will be out in the car this weekend to do a couple of miles in in to see how it is, apparently I have to drive a good couple of miles taking it steady to bed it in
i will let you know how it is
