How about FLYWheel?

Is it better than a crank pulley and safe? Or it has own downsides like the crank pulley?

Also, has anyone here with a flywheel ?

Some of us even have both.. Flywheel and crank


Oh btw i should be having a Spec LW/FLywheel for sale soon. I need to get on the horn with spec.. due to the ring gear stripping and ordering a new one. but if some one would like to buy it before i order the ring i will sell it both before and after i get the new gear. I'll even throw in the spec Stage 3 clutch that was attached to it when i replaced them.

This is not an Offical FS item as of yet thats why there is no price and im not putting it in the market place.. i dont plan on getting the ring gear until jan- Feb some time.

Magumi, if you sell your flywheel clutch setp within the next two weeks let me know, i'm about to get that same setup. BTW, how do you like it? and why are you selling? Just because of the ring gear?

Yes when the flywheel went i needed to order a replacement flywheel. I ordered teh M7 segment LW/ Flywheel with a new Spec stage 3 clutch .. simply you cant replace one without the other. the Car its self is running fine. even did an autox on Nov 13. So the old one is currently just taking up space and personally i dont like selling broken parts.. Used is one thing but strip broken , etc is another.

The set up is great once your use to it. only thing is the whole pedal engage or disengage is the top 1/4 throw which gets most people since there not use to it. I have very little problem with it in traffic unlike what a lot of people have posted about the set up in the past

this is a vid of one of my runs with the new stuff installed.
