gonna do clutch soon and heard bad things about skimming the oe wheel,want the car to be as the oe feel but will be running about 280/280.what is a cheap option? i believe the oe sti one would be good,but how much is a new one? really dont want to spend £150-200 on a flywheel.or is it better to have oe one lightened and balanced,i really havent a clue and it seems alot of money to buy a lightweight wheel.really dont want to do clutch and then get judder cause ive left the flywheel!any info on what options i have would be great! car is my99 uk turbo wagon. if i do have to spend £200 then so be it,i dont want to cut corners but surely u can do something without having to spend that sort of money,cheers scooby people.

 

hello mate i need a clutch asap as well what one are you going for maybe try setting up a group buy ? need to be quick tho

i also wouldn't mind knowing the answer about the flywheel

cheers

 

I fitted a Fidanza(SP) flywheel and have no problems with it,
The clutch bite is very delicate once you fit a lightened fly.

 

already purchased an oe 230mm exedy clutch kit,just the flywheel im baffled about,dont want the tiny biteing point on clutch cause my misses uses the car daily and she wants to keep it silky smooth. any ideas anyone?

 

ill let you know as ive gone for the lightened flywheel and my mrs drives it as well so could be interesting lol being fitted this w/e

 

If you want the car to behave the same as OE, then simply have the OE flywheel skimmed and balanced for approx £20 at a local machine shop.

My missi happily drives the car with a 4.3kg flywheel but I would recommend a 6.3kg one to most people looking for something easy to drive, whilst giving nice improvements.

If you want to upgrade to a proper lightweight forged flywheel drop me a PM

 

thanks for that,so what exactly is the difference in buying a new 6.3 flywheel for a good few quid and having the oe wheel skimmed and balanced for a very small fee?what are the differences? excuse my stupidness but i dont know,does it justify spending around £200? dont get me wrong i dont like cutting corners as far as my car is concerned but i dont like spending hard earned cash on things i dont really need! in other words,i hate skimping on things but dont like wasting it?

 

If you want to keep it standard, just have it skimmed and balanced - that way it will be the same as before.

Our lightweight forged flywheels weigh around half of your OE one and will significantly reduce the rotating mass and will make the engine livelier.

The choice is yours

 

Sorry to but in. How much for a lightend flywheel & a nice light feeling clutch for my 02 bugeye Sti. Will be running aprox 400bhp. Nige

 

so bob5,what different weight flywheels are there? whats the heaviest lightweight flywheel?,could you pls pm me prices for all the different weight wheels u do?
