Lo Bux, I got a question for you. im looking into this flywheel business cuz from from everything i've read, along with the TRD springs and great tires this seems like an awesome upgrade that frees up alot of power rather than going with overated bolt-ons. however i have a few questions.

1. does the Flywheel increase or decrease the engine life cuz i would think that being that the engine is spinning less mass that it would be able to last longer however since the engine speed decreases faster too i thought that may have a bit of a negative impact sum parts surrounding the flywheel or further down the line of power distribution.

2. is the speed deceleration drastic compared to stock.? i dont want my girlfriend tossed all around in my car cuz of the flywheel swap.

3. is engine lug eliminated and also bogging? of course i dont mean from upshifting entirely too early or driving in 5th at 20 MPH anything dumb like that. i mean from 0 mph

4. LASTLY, do i need to change out the flywheel after a while. does it wear down?

after searching and reading of all the posts i found these questions werent quite directly answered.

anybody else with this mod please feel free to respond too. i just know that Lo Bux has nothing but good things to say about it and its perked my interest.

^^^ i agree. (with both your posts above...

)

i am very pleased with the results. the throttle response is tighter, it is easier to rev match, but i stalled my car for about 3 days after the install since the revs drop off faster. had to learn my car a little again. good price, great mod.

Need quicker feet eh? Just wish I could test drive one with it installed. Do you really think it's a good mod for the money? I'm thinking SC & Bigger Clutch first, but the flywheel is on the back of my mind. [/b]

If you're goign to replace the clutch it'd be absolutely silly not to do the flywheel at the same time.

well, unless you want to go through the process again. i mean, its fun and all, but i wish i had done my clutch at the same time. oh well, back to lance's place for the air tools, and his secret clutch install technique he hinted at.

There's no secret in a lot of work. None of it is hard, but there's a lot of it to be done for a clutch swap.

if you can find it for 170, tell me where.
we got ours on a group buy from titan with fidanza's approval, and stole them at 250 apiece. that was a smoking deal.

Not as great a deal as we thought.... Titan sells the flywheel for $399 on their site, I believe, so $250 sounded great. Tital ALSO sells hte flywheel for $299 on ebay. We got a $49 discount.
