Lightweight flywheel
Ive got to take the engine out of my bugeye wrx this week due to fitting some new parts, ive got a Exedy pink box clutch on at the moment, but what I may as well do while the engine is out is fit a lightweight flywheel, does anyone recommend one and is it worth the money?
Cheers for the help....

Fitting a lightweight flywheel reduces rotational mass, improves throttle response and acceleration. If I could speak to every customer about just how good these are then each and every customer would go for one.
Personally it was one of the single best modifications I did to my Impreza, really made the car sharper and nicer to drive.

Once you have fitted a lightweight forged flywheel you will never look back.

The engine was quicker to gain speed and there was a sense of reduced initial inertia. Definitely easier to stall, but not to the extent that it affected driveability - you just need to drive it more carefully and apply more forthought. I fitted the one from the Aztec website, not sure if it was alloy/forged etc.
I think the bite point is laible to change on any clutch work, mine did, slightly, but not in a bad way. I went for the flywheel at the same time as it seemed like a good mod that could be done with minimal labour costs as th clutch was coming out anyways. In my opinion it did make the car respond better under accelleration and well worth replacing a worn/less performance oriented part.
Hope this helps.

got mine a package from aztec . noticed the difference on the way home from mates garage . a lot crisper throttle responce and revs a lot quicker in each gear as you go up the box . also no judder at all with the anti judder exedy clutch , very smooth changes . apart from the vf35 i picked up off a mate for 50quid its the best money ive spent on the scoob

I have an 05 wrx, picked it up a couple of months ago and noticed the clutch was high, the other day I made it a lot worse after a hard launch to avoid an accident.
I know the clutch will need doing soon (not slipping yet) but wandering about the lightened fly wheel, the only experience I have was in my mates 350z, throttle response was amazing after but it knocked its **** off, are scoobys with lightened flywheels known for this also or is it a crappy Nissan thing?

Sorry to thread hijack, but what clutch would you recommend for a newage WRX wagon with PPP? I'm planning to (eventually) do "stage 2" mods/remap and look for around 320bhp, but mostly just a daily driver. No real track/drag use.
