Reading up on this - 'Training WRX' has the standard WRX flywheel down as 8KG - now I'm really confused - is ther a difference between UK / JDM flywheels or has someone somewhere got their units mixed up??

If you want a technical explaination on flywheel lightening the website of Dave Baker seems to be online again. Make interesting reading on lots of other aspects of tuning too.

(the links have made themsevles clicky, that's handy )
