Fidanza Aluminium Flywheel for VTS??

[bigbadboy]

They only weigh 5 kilos - is it worth the £280? and how much does a standard '03 VTS weigh?

[axgt16v]

I think that's still quit heavy... Not sure about the actuel weight of the original one?

[JoshB]

Some one here got thier original one ground down to 4.something KG's and it didnt cost much at all. Not worth it all in my opinion.

Have a search through the forums.

hahaha dont waste your money mate, thats like 700g lighter than standard i think. take your flywheel to a metal engineer and have it skimmed out, my engineer thatch done mine for £30 and took 2kg off!

Only thing with having a OE one skimmed is the engineer has to know whats he's doing. If it fails it'll be fair messy.

I changed my 2.2 Prelude flywheel for a 8lb Fidanza fly (less than half the weight of the OE one) and was very impressed with the difference. Couldn't set off with just the clutch any more though...

Where abouts is he based?

Helix do some nice light weight flywheels. I would not bother lightening the standard flywheel. There notoriously feeble to start with so there not a great deal you can take off them. If your doing a high revving normally aspirated engine you really do want to stay on the safe side as there something akin to a hand grenade going off when they go.

i have a helix 1 that weighs 3kg and the standard 1 weighed 6kg iirc

[Thunderz]

anybody got or tried or know if the High Flow heads lightened flywheels are any good? They cost about £90.

I know they only weigh 2kg but no idea what theyre like
