Default Clutch masters Fly

It looks awesome and I can get a great price on it. I was wondering if anyone has used one yet? If not I'll buy one and test it out. I was just wondering if anyone had one yet. What your expirences was.

I had a Flymasters flywheel on my B-series block and would reccommend you get a chromoly one instead. Aluminum does warp over time. There is a thread on Team-Integra.net entitled "I want to/wanna know everything about flywheels" that discusses this, and also info on http://www.TOO.com about flywheel warping. I measured mine (just over a year of use) and it is slightly warped (.3mm) but I am going to Chromoly when I do my rebuild. Also remember you want to have a scatter shield if you are going eith a lightweight flywheel, I've seen one explode before and it goes right through the firewall and out the roof...camp1320 has a specials page here with the Golden Eagle shield I think.

Also I hope you've evaluated whether a lightened flywheel will be good for your style driving. they do improve transient response dramatically, good for street/strip but aren't reccommended for AutoX because it makes revv-matching on downshifts more difficult.

Actually, it's you've got it backwards. lighten flywheel's are better for AutoX and worse for Track use because you need the rotating mass to get you down the track. You can't launch on a lighten flywheel be or you'll shatter it.
