Found out about these from a link on the WRX list http://www.gofastbits.com.au/product/pulleys/pulley.htm

Anyone know anything about them, any good, bad points etc ?

Never heard of them before....

I've got a couple of them in stock John.

They are lighter and smaller to reduce the reciprocating mass, and you will need to buy different drive belts for them.

Haven't had time to put them on yet, Think I'll fit the Blue ones.

Will tell you more when I've tried them.

John

Just get 4-5kg taken off your flywheel.

Losing 0.5kg at 50mm radius is nothing like losing 4kg a 275mm radius.

Thanks Mike - wasn't really interested in fitting them, just whether they made any difference or not. I'll look forward to your review once you've had a chance to evaluate them.

Is that pulley solid or Dampened? If solid, don't do it.
