Default Flywheel Inquiry

Out of the flywheels listed which would you recommend. I am planning on adding to this set up a ACT Heavy Duty Clutch with the Street/Strip disk. The Master Plan is for the car to have about 185-200HP to the wheels when I am finished.
Price is not the concern quality is.
Spoon $360
JUN Lightweight $400
ITR $225

from what i hear Toda is the way to go, my friend had a june and after 5k miles it was full of hot spots, i've got the exedy wich is very similar to the Toda and alittle cheaper, i like it.

I've read that the Jun has problems with the starter.
The ITR isn't that much lighter, 2~3 lbs.

BTW, where can you get the Spoon fw for 360? Lowest i've seen was 400.

For more opinions on flywheels, search/ask in the itr forum. There is a lot posted there.

Exedy from what I understand is the manufacture for JUN and TODA. The price for the Spoon was from Canada.

Whats the weight of the Exedy flywheel? Do they just make one weight, or do they make a light and ultra-light?? Also whats the average cost on exedys flywheels?

I thought the title said "Flywheel Injury" at first

I remember in the old h-t archives that you're supposed to use a delsol vtec starter with the jun flywheel because the GSR starter may not always work with it

I have the Jun flywheel at the moment, and yes, the starter problem occurs about 5% of the time. It's not often, but it always happens at the worst times for me. Get the Toda..
Also, I'm interested in this whole Del Sol starter w/Jun flywheel thing. If that works, then I'd do that definitely. If not, I have an ITR flywheel collecting dust in my apartment right now that I could always put on to fix the problem (and save my energy in chicago traffic.)

What???

Its not going to break...the only reason you WOULDNT want a lighter flywheel is if youre worried that in daily driving you're going to have stall problems. After a day with the light flywheel, you'll be used to it like anything else. The whole thing is blown way out of proportion.

And I ask again...what???

I've heard many nasty stories too, but they were from people who heard it from their friend's cousin's roomate's mom's friend's aunt. I've never really heard a first-hand account of a flywheel flying off and cutting off someone's leg. I suppose a scattershield would give you a small sense of security. Although i have heard of one story from an EMT somewhere before i can't seem to recall it.
