Not bad really. Just practise the lightning fast shifts.

I have a 7lb,

As far as I am concerned if you have issues driving with a light flywheel you must be a terrible driver.

A 9 lb. flywheel is perfectly streetable on a Honda. I'd personally even go a bit lighter, but that's mainly because I'm an advocate of the Clutch Masters / Fidanza 7.5 lb. unit.

There is a guy selling shaved oem flywheels on ebay. They weigh 12 pounds and are pretty nice. I have been running mine since middle of last year and haven't had any problems.

Get a good clutch.

8lb flywheel here, my revs drop really fast but its on a b16b with an n1 pulley so i got zero accessorry drag, its not a daily so i dont care, but if it was my dialy i think it would get old cause i like to shift really slow when dd which becomes jerky with my set up.
