Austin

IGGY - YOU HAVE NO REASON TO REPLACE YOUR FLYWHEEL!

 

works great with vtech:

 

Now this is some funny ****.. damn, I had to LOL here in the office... damn that was funny.

Iggy - What flywheel is that? I was gonna try to drive up to Napa tonight, but I have to put my car back together after I went to the drags last night...

Bob...it's the Exedy Flywheel.

Reefer_Bob isn't so smart sometimes...

Reefer_Bob also loves his Comptech Al. Flywheel.

 

I had a Fidanza flywheel untill some of the teeth broke off and flew around finally exiting the side of the bell housing. I am now back to stock. No need for that non-sense. Ryan

 

We all have days like that...

So do I, it looks great in the box that it came in

 

Damn...now that's interesting, first time I've heard of that happening.

Hey man, glad you mentioned you have a Comptech AL flywheel. I am soon considering one since it the lightest most reliable AL flywheel I've come across (and I've had great experiences with Comptech products).
My question to you and anyone else with a lightweight wheel is how has the engine and drivability changed with this flywheel. Give me the obvious pros and the not so obvious cons.

TIA

 

try this thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=275616

helped me decide on what to do..

 

Thank you. I'll take a look at it.

 

Under what conditions did the failure occur?

 

or this thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=188218

I ended up going with the CM FW...I havnt had a chance to drive the car with it yet though

 

Lightened Flywheel

Pros - Engine revs fastier and easier.

Cons - None.

It's just that simple.

 

This one?

Thanks for the response but what from what I understand, tricky launches and under damped engine vibration may make the daily driving experience not so pleasant. My question I guess is how unpleasant is it. I guess from your answer you have no problems.
The thread I was directed to pretty much gave me good insight. I am pretty much sold on the Comptech AL.
Anyone else?

 

AASCO, good choice

BTW, I STILL have them on special. See sig.

thanks.. will post a review after install and some driving..

btw.. here's the other side:

 

From the very first instant that I put my comptech flywheel, plus ACT HDSS, I have never had a problem launching. No stalling, or anything. There's no loss of torque.

Torsional Damping. With the flywheel, it's not that big of an issue, because dont' forget the pressure plate is out there, the clutch is out there, and when the clutch is ingaged, all the the transmission is there. Plenty of stuff to soak up all that extra vibration...

I'll post another review when my main bearings go out in 150k miles...

 

I just wrote a very long post about flywheels and managed to lose it on my computer.

Summation - you are a vendor and making money off your sales to us, do you trust someone who is making money off of you?

Price of a product reflects the quality of the product, amount of R&D that went into it, quality of the assembly, quality control, and the quality of the materials used...just because something is more expensive for less doesn't necessarily mean that it is an inferior product, many times it is a far superior product.

Austin - who is upset for loosing the nice message that he wrote

 

Iggy...it looks similar to the text written by Fidanza:

And it looks like one of their flywheels too.

 

Hahah this thread is hilarious.
