I'm looking at buying a prelude with an aftermarket ACT clutch and flywheel, it's the streetlite flywheel, not the drag one, but i'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this combo. I've heard both good and bad about lightweight flywheels. Bottom line is i'm a pretty good driver, but i do alot of around town driving, and i'm wondering if the lightweight FW will compromise drivability much. I couldn't care much less if the engine revs up a tad quicker, i wish it just had the stock one on there, but good used VTEC preludes are getting pretty hard to come by where i live, so i really want this car. Opinions please!!
One more thing, anyone have any recommendations on anything i should check for on this car? it's a 94 vtec with 120k on the odometer. A car that will me 30k miles at least on original tranny and motor is a MUST! I've heard the tranny is somewhat of a weak link in these cars, so should i expect it not to shift perfectly?

 

I was looking at getting that ACT flywheel, but living on the other side of the world doesn't help with the price.

I got one made from local fabricator here in NZ and have lived with it for 2 years now with 4 puck brass button clutch that I'm ditching after track day.

My Opinion is lightened Flywheel is all good, I will never go back to the factory one again. It makes the engine feels much lighter, and there is no driveability problem at all.. Only problem is sometimes a harsh clutch can be too harsh and start eating the flywheel.
