Hi. Does anybody know, where and how much it would cost to skim the flywheel?

Also if i would like to make it lighter, how far can i go to be safe?
It is standard 5 Speed one from V2 Sti.

Anywhere in Bedford area will be perfect.

CHEERS

 

Why risk it being wrong and having to take it all out again when you can just bye a lightened flywheel

 

I know but have not enough funds to buy new clutch kit ( Exedy Stage 1 - £300) and lightened flywheel which would cost me in total over £500

 

Be sure to buy the Anti-Judder version and a genuine Exedy UK item. Plenty of fakes around.

Where are you getting yours from?

If you want your current flywheel skimming, you will need to phone around the local machine shops to see who could do it (some will be able to and some won't). Expect around £50+ VAT. If reusing the old flywheel, be sure to fit a new spigot bearing (if you buy one of our flywheels, they will come with a new spigot bearing anyway).

Hope this helps.

 

Ok, But what are you going to do if the skimmed flywheel judders like mad and you then have to do it again?

 

i have used these now for many years on many different projects and they have always delivered the goods. http://www.wdbltd.co.uk/

 

beware cheap excedy clutches. i brought one lasted 2 weeks and was completely stripped when it finaly gave up. had my fly wheel skimmed at a local enginers for £80 and brought a real excedy clutch from david at api and its been spot on since.

 

Cheers guys !
I will defo buy clutch kit from Aztec Performance and probably wait few more weeks and get a new flywheel as well.

 

As it's pertinent, we wouldn't recommend a light flywheel for anything other than a track car. For drag racing, it's a positive disadvantage.

 

So, skim the standard one and put back on, right?
