ok, so I banged a second gear today and now my clutch feels like ****. when I'm coming off the clutch I'm getting wheel hop like a ****. probably pressure plate or a bad clutch spring. so I'm gonna do the clutch thursday but I wanna also put a flywheel in. I just purchased a comptech aluminum flywheel and I'm wondering how you guys like a lightened flywheel? The car should rev faster but am I going to be going faster or just revving faster at the same mph? what other advantages are there? less rotating weight on crank= more hp? thanks in advance

 

It feels like night and day, best mod for the money.

 

I've been running a Comptech flywheel for 7 years.

No negatives, so many positives...

 

Well...It rev up fasssttt and the rev drop fasssttt also.. Yes, it has a little con.

 

Advantage of a flywheel? It gives your clutch something to rub against, so you can move forward

Lighter flywheel will make everything feel quicker/lighter, shift smoother, etc.

What's wrong with your clutch now? It shouldn't cause wheel hop by itself. If it engages and dis-engages without chattering it should be fine.

Use your right foot, silly Revs go back up again.

I never had any negatives for running a light flywheel in 2 cars.

 

Nah, I have nothing against light weight flywheel anyway. Just waiting for the original clutch to wear out so the new light weight fly wheel and clutch can go in at the same time (one stone kill 2 birds)

 

Downshift rev matching is alot easier and heel-toe is much easier

Get a 4.9 FD and kill 3 birds

I only killed 2 birds though, swapped in the Toda FW and ATS FD and kept the OEM clutch at 10,000 miles. It has 45,000 on it now and nothing but ear to ear grinning fun for all the miles since install. No problems only positives.

On a side note when I compare my DD stock EVO to when I get in and snap through gears in the R is't like night and day. The R feels so smoothe and light and responsive, too bad it doesn't have the EVO's turbo strapped on though

 

Beware of people who tell you a lighter flywheel makes you lose torque. They are idiots, and they are everywhere.

Lighter flywheel is beautiful in the ITR.

Exactly .

 

thanks for the responses, I'll let you know how it comes out. I'm also installing a clutchmasters fx300 at the same time, should be nice.
