Changing my clutch and guess what flywheel shot, where cab I get an uprated or lighter flywheel? and how much do they cost? am I right in thinking main dealer is going to charge me around £200 for the standard item? F*** me even Dick Turpin wore a mask.

JUN do a lightened flywheel which will improve acceleration response (but reduce the momemtum aswell). I think Justin (TorqueIC) has one on his E5 so he may be able to supply you with one for a good price (believe they are £200-£300 but don't quote me). It does make economic sense to upgrade the flywheel if your OE item is shot.

Also try Farndon Engineering - they had steel Evo flywheels on their stand at Autosport a couple of years ago.

You can get a JUN ultra light flywheel (4.1 kg I think) for GBP 180 from Fair Import. Mine should arrive today!

Why can't you get the original flywheel machined to take out the wear and to lighten????

It s only a spinny metal thing after all.

I paid £15 to have my flywheel lightened on my manta.

OEM flywheels are usually cheap cast and weaker than aftermarket billet steel items.

A lightened std. flywheel can explode with spectacular and often life threatening results.
This is one item that is worth spending tyhe money on and doing properly.

The mechanic said it could be machined but it would be so thin after he wouldn't like to chance it.

Amen to that Lightspeed, luckily my uncle escaped any injuries when a so called 'professionally' machined down lightened OE flywheel exploded and ripped through his grass track car in the middle of a race.
For the small difference in cost for a proper lightened aftermarket flywheel against a new OE item then you might as well go the aftermarket route. I wouldn't suggest anyone fits a lightened flywheel just for the sake of it, wait until the clutch needs changing and do the whole lot in one go.
My philosophy is if a part needs replacing then you may as well replace with a better one

Claudius,

Do you have any contact details for Fair Import - you've mentioned them a few times and i think you put a contact mail at some point but i can't find it.

Thanks,

Kevin.

I do have a JUN flywheel on my evo and it did make a nice difference.....well worth doing.

By the time id paid shipping,duty,vat,bank charges etc etc the JUN flywheel cost me
well over £300; and that was with a 20% discount from JUN. How fair import
can get them for £180 is beyone me, so I may buy a couple from them when
I see their contact details.
