Advice on a potential purchase....
Brother in law has found a car but one or two issues with it that id like some advice please
Car is a V2 STi had a new clutch fitted around a year ago (9000 miles) and at the time had a recon'd flywheel put on there (receipts for work). At moment though seller says the flywheel could do with re-skimming.
Now im not familiar with flywheel skimming etc and asked what the problem was - he says there is Slight grinding on flywheel. Doesn't affect how it pulls but you can hear it when coasting.
Should it need re-skimming after just 9000 miles?
If so and problem is the flywheel is it worth buying a new flywheel? i have read that you can get a oem style on exchange for £100 from likes of ASPerformance? and that skimming is around £50? What would be the best route to take?
thanks
James

Clutch judder is quite common, but thats when you pull off, should not make any sound when fully engaged and coasting (depends what you mean by coasting).
API do an exchange lightend flyweel for very not a lot of money that gives a good improvement to feel without going too light. But as above dont think that is the problem (I am not a mechanic though).
