Snow and Light Flywheel
As winter is approaching, I came up with an interesting thought today.... I am thinking of buying a light flywheel for my daily and seeing how you have to rev it a bit more to get it going, how would this handle in the snow?? Would a 12 lb be better than say an 8 lb?? i am looking for less chance of tires breaking loose.
i've searched and haven't seen such a topic but i am beginning to wonder.......

just buy the 8lb, its not any harder to get it going. i drive mine on pretty much ice streets about every winter, and never have problems. enjoy the flywheel though

I've had a 7.5# for over a year, and I don't think it's any harder to drive than stock - just a little different.
You'll get used to it.

9lb Exedy Chromolyon a 99 Si. Had snow tires on it when it was seeing winter use (stored for the past 3 winters) and it was fine.
I have an exedy organic clutch on mine, too, so basically, it's a bit jerky from a dead stop. Get in the habit of smoother clutch engagement and you'll be fine.
No biggie.

Re: (Syndacate)
You just have to feather the clutch a little more and not let the rpms drop so quickly when easing out on the clutch. I have a 7.5lb for 40k miles now and you get used to it quickly. Driving in the snow isn't as hard as it seems
