[QUOTE="vantageX, post: 1296555, member: 28293"] Ok since this is car talk, lets talk about one of the more common mods out there, a lightened flywheel. I've seen a post on here that recommended getting a flywheel lightened to increase power. Fair enough, you lighten the flywheel, reduce parasitic drag and free a few horses. Now my question to you guys out there who have done this mod is; Are you happy with the gains and also the consequences of this mod? Let's face it, a lightened flywheel will free up a few horses but it also frees up your RPM meaning your RPM drops more rapidly between gear changes hence you find yourself changing gears as fast as a sequential box on an F1 car (or at least trying to):confused_smile: So you're shifting fast all the time, your pick-up has improved but you're accelerating fast all the time, do you really need that? So should this mod be recommended to beginners of this hobby? Is it worthwhile or are the gains too little to justify and in the long run its just not worth it for a street car? :shades_smile: [/QUOTE]
