Lightend and balanced Flywheel

[GroomGTI]

what are the gains off having this done? Also how much dose it usually cost to have it done?

[bullit]

being lighter spins faster so revs quicker. prob not worth doing really as standard is good. you may end up with harsher ride aswell. theres a few threads on it

[adamhighfield]

if u really want 1 then get the ally 1 from demon tweeks, because if its not done right will make it worse!

[andywiddss1]

ally one from tweeks over 300 quid

QEP do them you send them yours and they will lightend and balanc it think they are about £120

in terms of performance there are no downside of a l&b flywheel.

true, but not everyone has the money/time to strip the bottom end down and get it balanced.

a lightened and balanced flywheel will make a nice little difference to throttle response and livelyness.

You can have a 'feel' of mine when it gets done m8. Its at Ricky P's at the mo, not sure on your spec but it should be similar to mine.

Danny, did you get yours QEP or an off-the-shelf jobbie?

Until you come to a hill.

Also most aftermarjed modded flywheels can be seen as dangerous if not done properly. take to much off and a nice flywheel through the bulkhead isnt much fun.

Having looked around for prices on having the standard flywheel lightened and balanced and reading threads on various forums i decided to go for a helix aluminium flywheel from Demon Tweeks, so light and great quality!!:y:

yes mate, i got mine from qep.

ryan, id rather have the car responsive and revvy and sacrifice the odd hill. and i really dont think there would be much difference.
