Yes, please fix your caplocks problem.

You have many options. Personally I like the clutchmasters 7.5 flywheel.

But that's just my opinion.

BTW - they're $280 on http://www.groupbuycenter.com

I agree with dragon but i opt for the JUN 9lb flywheel. I have it and it weighs in at exactly 4.2 kg. Its noticably lighter than my stock GSR flywheel but not so light that it destroys all driveablity. I say go with JUN.

Jun starter problems, unless you find the right starter that works with it..go either Toda or Spoon no problems and great for every day car. they weight 9.1T or 9.3Slbs

Dragon, you ever drive a 7.5 lb flyweel equipped Honda?


I have clutchmasters in my track racer EG, and my commute car Type R. My wife didn't even have problems switching over fromt he stock fly when I installed it. She has 0 problems with it's "drivability" and actually loves the improved throttle response . . an 8lb flywheel is 110% streetable. period.

Get a clutchmasters, you won't regret it . . .

From someone who knows *first hand*

No I have never driven a 7.5lb Flywheel but it's simple Physicis...
Thats just funny that you try to use physics to disprove what people actually DO feel as far as results with a new lightweight flywheel in the real world. How can you tell someone that what their results were must not be possible, that just does not make sense... I think you should keep your comments to a minimum if they are 'speculation' (trying to be nice, not harsh). Even though they are based on sound principles of physics, there are some things that are not always as simpleas they seem, and what does look to be true is that a 7.5lb flywheel on a honda or hybrid honda is a mod that does NOT hurt drivability for street use.

Personally I'd go with a Type R Flywheel... It's lighter than the Stock GSR (12lbs) but not too light... if you go with a JUN (9lbs) you're still going to loose more low end torque... ...
i don't get it. are you saying that a gsr flywheel is 12lbs? stock itr flywheel is 15.4 lbs, so my guess is a gsr flywheel is 18, perhaps 20 lbs.

i like my UR flywheel, which weighs in at 8lbs.. didn't notice any low end loss.. just more responsive.. it was a bit on the expensive side tho
