where to get flywheel lightened? chch.

Postby rwd_mayhem » Tue Jul 18, 2006 7:28 pm

anyone know of a good cheap place to get my flywheel lightened???? how much am i gonna end up paying roughly? where have other people with 4ages taken their flywheels?

i took my 4age bluetop flywheel into ms coombes to get lightened but they said the way it was designed it was hard to easily take off much weight, because where the pressure plate needs to be theyd have to take out seperate sections which would take a few hours at $62 an hour ends up costing me alot.

*insert youre going to kill innocent kid posts.

Precision engineering will do it, I wouldnt trust anyone else.

But above that I wouldnt be a tight arse and Id buy a blacktop one 6kg or buy an aftermarket billet item.

I went for a 6kg Blacktop one, 2kg lighter than stock. Does the job, picked it up off ATAl (cheers dude 8) ) for $100.

Just hunt around for one of them, only flipside is you need to get a 212mm clutch setup to suit. Which isnt a bad thing.

Revhead can source these for $150 if you email him.

yea but im using my original k40 (yes there goes being a cheap ar*e again) so i cant use that clutch setup can i? maybe i should just leave the flywheel for now and do it when i EVENTUALLY upgrade to t50.

K series are 19 spline input shaft, so you can only use a 3A 190mm clutch plate, but thats fine to use with a blacktop flywheel and pressure plate, but might want to double check that a 212mm clutch fits into a K series bellhousing, have heard of swapping the bolts for high grade cap screws and grinding the inside of the bellhousing out a bit. (havnt done it personally)

But no reason why not.
