Hi guys,I'm just about to have an upgraded clutch fitted and was thinking of buying an Exedy lightened flywheel to go on at the same time.
Any thoughts on this?
Car is a v5 type R.

Thanks.

Don't go too light as it makes the car harder to get off the line during normal driving; it will bog down or even stall unless you keep the revs up as there's too little inertia, hence you tend to slip the clutch a bit more with higher revs when pulling away in traffic.

 

i had one fitted in my sti when i fitted an exedy pink box.
revs a lot easier and also engine braking is far better, is slightly easier to stall but not a whole lot different to original

 

We Have these if you decide to change.

i had read about problems stalling,idling etc previously on here. Gave laterals 6kg jobbie ago and not had any negative issues with it.

 

I also replaced my standard heavy flywheel,with a 7kg Fidanza lightweight flywheel when putting in a Excedy pink clutch in my V5 sti wagon,and have noticed no problems stalling,but gear changes are quicker and car feels alot smoother. I did skim at work ( I'm a cnc machinist) my old sti flywheel from 14kg down to around 11kg so its soon on fleabay lol

 

We do these ones which seem ideal and are very popular: http://www.superhids.co.uk/clutches-...l-5-speed.html or as a complete package: http://www.superhids.co.uk/clutches-...a-5-speed.html

Can supply even lighter versions, but they take a little longer to get used to.

One of the best upgrades you can do IMHO.
