Hi,

scanning thru the archive i know most of you would advise a lightened flywheel weighing at least 5 kgs, however, i'd like to know if anyone has had first-hand experience with one that weighs about 4.6 to 4.8 kg, since i'm offerred one (ZeroSports) that's roughly this weight.

I'm after the blipability and throttle response, but would rather not embarrass myself in city stop-and-go traffic...

I have been using lightened flywheel for nearly 6 months now and must admit that the immediate notice in performance was rpm needle reaches the red line much faster than before.The down side is that rpm drop is about 2000 rpm between shifts.Not really ideal for city driving when compare to my WRX stock flywheel which weighs 11 kg.The lightened flywheel I used is Trust which is 5.5kg.Choice is yours.

I once picked up a STi ver 3 flywheel with my hands and it's not as heavy as the WRX's flywheel.At that time we do not have a weighing scale,so couldnt tell how heavy the STi one is.Anyone knows what the weight of a STi flywheel is??TIA.
