Post by nvenuto »

Has anyone purchased an aftermarket flywheel or lightened theirs? Just wondering if you had any problems.... Also how about a single plate clutch sys...

if you lighten the flywheel a little bit,you won't notice the difference !if you take off a lot you'll hate it ! for me lightend flywheels are for track use only.
light flywheels are difficult in traffic,your car will die on you the whole time.but it revs like a motorcycle

We dropped close to 11 pounds from the front flywheels (44% or so) and 1.5 pounds from the back flywheels (about 16%) - 9 down to 7.5 pounds...

Race clutches are supposed to be "not too grabby" - We'll see...

Andrew Garcia in Houston did the work for us on the rear units. He then balanced that "top" looking clutch unit as a whole.

Dawie's machine shop in SA did the fronts and balanced them for us with the new internal engine parts....

Drive shafts are being balanced as separate units.
...to Alfa, or not to Alfa? That is the question...
