Default lightweight flywheel question

i searched and read all 58 topics, my eyes hurt and i'm dizzy so just please answer my question. do you need to give it more gas when going from a full stop? i live asia where stop and go traffic is unavoidable, so if launching the car from a stop becomes more difficult then i'll just probably stick with the stock flywheel

chances are you wont have to do anything different and you will hardly notice any difference from a stop. It feels more like you have a different clutch more than anything else, and you just have to get used to it. no big deal.

.. i'm breaking in an exedy clutch and fidanza flywheel (well, not breaking in the flywheel).. the rpms do drop quickly when you're starting from stop.. but you'll get used to driving with the new flywheel shortly.. rev-matching is awesome now

yes RPMs drop quicker, they also rise faster. but its just something you have to get used to. i dont see it as a problem. no more of a problem in stop/go traffic than driving any other manual tranny car. after you get used to it, its fine. the faster revs and much more instant throttle response outweighs any of the downsides of a lighter flywheel IMO.

You may stall it more. I used to never stall. Now atleast once or twice a month.

It takes alot of getting used to...I drove Chris93si's car and its a little more tricky to start (due to the flywheel and clutch), but nothing a littel practice won't overcome.

I have one in a B16, it has a new ITR clutch with 7.5 lb fidanza flywheel and it revs faster and revs do drop faster but it is the best thing i have done to my car so far, go for it!!

Haha yep, it's a little tricky but you get used to it and it does greatly increase your cars fun factor
