Default ITR Flywheel any good?

how good are the ITR flywheel? would i feel the difference in a B16 tranny? i don't want to spend $200-$300 for a flywheel because i'm selling my car soon. i'm going to replace the flywheel since i'm changing the input shaft bearing.

its lighter by a few pounds I believe, but probably not anything noticable. You would be better off just lightening the stock B16 flywheel for a few bucks and you could probably make it lighter than the stock ITR flywheel. why would you want to do this anyway if you are selling the car?

Curious, how much does it cost to lighten a flywheel? Steve's are only like $50 I think.

i'm getting it for free. since i'm changing the bearing, might as well change the flywheel. more value for the car. how much does it cost to lighten a stock flywheel? where can it be done?

there is a noticeable difference between the b16 fw and the b18c5, besides the Si setup is really weak compared to the R's stuff.

If its a cheap or free upgrade then do it

Stock ITR FW is 15 pounds or 6.9kg (atleast the JDM FW) I think the Stock GSR is around 18 pounds.

Doesn't sound like a lot but I can remember reading somewhere that for every one pound you remove from the FW it's like removing 100 pounds from the Car During Acceleration.

Fw will not Add any Value to your car.
