I don't really know anything about flywheels and I'm sure the guy at the machine shop will ask me how I want it done.
Am I supposed to give him any special instructions?
Just take off 5-6lb?

make sure they re-balance it after they take off the lbs.

Plus 1.Bad things come of not having it re balanced.

ive heard that you want to go no lighter than 11lb on a stock flywheel

There was a large thread about this a couple months ago. Basically some people have had good experiences, where as some say it weakens it and increases the risk of it grenading and ------ ---- up.

So basically, my question is, how much weight can we safely remove from the flywheel?
Is 12lb a good weight to shoot for?

hahaha, go for 12 lbs just put allot of kevlar around your bell housing.


dont lighten it at all, its fine stock. all your going to do is make your car harder to drive around.

5-6 lbs removed for a final weight of 12lbs.Get it rebalaced and you do so at your own risk it could blow into a million pieces and cause injury.
