What flywheel to get?
 

Will be having my freshly PPG built box put in my car in the next couple of weeks.

Already have a reasonably new Exedy clutch in, but standard flywheel at the mo. Now i had a lightened one before and liked it, so will be going back down that road.

Any sudgestions as to what one to get and how light?

I have heard you can go to light and ruin the drive of the car.

Ask paul which one to go for when he builds the box. They do offer lightened flywheels there.

I'm running a 5.5KG Roger Clark Flywheel .......I stalled it quite a few times in the first few days but have now got used to it. LOL

Personally I'd go for a replacement / swap bugeye skimmed down a few Kg's, usually cost about £100 :)

could have mine when it comes out if you like :) as im putting a 4.2 in mine.

i replaced my sti flywheel with an ACT lightweight flywheel (14lbs) from a vendor on NASIOC and it was £220 delivered to my door all paid :D

Do you all think this is REALLY worth it?
I resisted this move this time when the box was out, but the flywheel effect is very useful as stock!
API do a lightened stock 'wheel down to 5Kg ish.

The time i did notice was when i had a lightened flywheel and clutch changed.

I had an origional flywheel put back in due to me thinking i wqas selling the car at the time so wasnt worth paying the extra.

Deffo noticed the engine was less willing to rev.

Be careful with the Bug-eye flywheels (assuming that as it's an MY02 that's what it will be) as they are 'dual mass' flywheels, so difficult to machine to remove weight.
I ordered one from a very respected organisation on here for GBP200, and there was almost a negligable weight difference between the 'lightened' version and the stock one, so I re-used the stock and returned the 'lightened' one - although the shipping costs set me back a bit!
I wish I had tried a really light one, but I needed the car back on the road!
For reference the stock flywheel is around 11Kg's and the 'lightened' one was around 10Kg's

AFAIK it's the Newage STi's that have a dual mass flywheel and the WRX flywheel is more straightfarward to lighten.
