I had my factory flywheel lightened from 16.8lbs to 13.7lbs.I took the flywheel along with my whole rotating assembly to be balanced. When I got everthing back the flywheel had 24 drilled spots in it. The guy showed me where the was cut was not even. So he had to take a lot of weight off of one side. What do you guys think it looks scary to me.
I can not get the pics to load so here is a link to my webshots account.

like whoa!

 

damn bro, what did they do to that?! i say buy another oem used flywheel.. saw one i classifieds for $45.

 

looks FUBAR'd to me

 

Its common to drill holes like that when lightening flywheels but that one looks ridiculous. hehe I have been lightening flywheels way before CM and all the other brands were popular, and usually takes 3-5 drills to balance it all out.

Maybe that one is super warped or sumthing.

that is exactly what I was going to say

 

I'm not liking it either. sure it's balanced and all, but damn... that area of the fly wheel is definately weakend now... I don't understand how the flywheel could be that far off... If they balanced the whole rotating assembly, you'd think they drill the crank weights rather than the flywheel...

 

If you need another one, I have a GSR one laying around I could unload cheep (I just upgraded to an ITR one).

ehhh looks pretty messed up to me too.. I have my old GSR fw around too.. $35 shipped and its urs.

 

that looks horrible. i hope he didnt charge you for that ?

 

That look bad...just doesn't look safe for me...but I'm not an expert....maybe take it to another shop and ask ....

 

I know exactly what they did When they mounted the flywheel on the lathe they did not use the proper centering adapter and they cut that flywheel at an angle. To get it balanced to compensate for the other side they had to drill that many holes. That wheel is not safe and will destroy itself and your transmission.

Get another!!

to machine shops that dont know how to cut a flywheel properly!!

 

OMFG

That's one fugly flywheel

 

letsride you win the prize. I had one shop (NLP) lighten the flywheel and they did not do it right but if the A$$ that balanced it would have called and said this things way off before he cut it up I could have taken it back and had NLP turn it a little more to straighten it out. I guess I will end up in a big fight with the guy that did the balancing.
Thanks guys

 

That's the biggest clusterfuck I've ever seen in my life!
