Yes. The same on 5 speeds.
A new billet quality ACT lightweight flywheel is £235. Superb bit of kit.

Cheers mate. Been offered one and can do all the machining through work. Will be contacting you about an up-pipe for it soon. Thanks again

If you are machining an OE flywheel do not take it below 7.5-8kg.
The billet above are 4.1 and 6.4kg and much to our surprise even the 4.1kg did not cause issues when we first started using these.
