Re: flywheel
It may basically be the same thing except for the stock flywheel was a crapload more then 2lbs...I think the lightweight flywheels still weigh in at around 11-12lbs. The stockers are upwards of 15-16lbs if I remember correctly.
I could have the weights mixed up. I've got a alum flywheel sitting in my room I'll weigh it when I get home.
Edit: The weight difference may be 7-8lbs lightened alum, 11-12 stock.Last edited by ReodDai; 10-30-2006, 12:47 PM.00\' firebird v6 5spd<br />201rwhp ---- 230 rwtq<br />\"Everyday I grow stronger...and further from you.\"<br />WARNING: Do not take any of my comments seriously unless they are technical in nature and then only at your own riskComment

Re: flywheel
Flywheel on a manual = clutch engagement surface

Re: flywheel
I remember reading that every pound of rotating weight is equal to 11 lbs of static weight in a car/bike. So if its 5 lbs less weight, its like haveing your little sister get out of the car.

"Removing one pound of rotating mass (unsprung weight), is like removing 11 pounds of vehicle weight."Comment

Re: flywheel
The lightweight flywheel (shipping package and all) weighs 10lbs. So its probably a little under 10lbs.00\' firebird v6 5spd<br />201rwhp ---- 230 rwtq<br />\"Everyday I grow stronger...and further from you.\"<br />WARNING: Do not take any of my comments seriously unless they are technical in nature and then only at your own riskComment
