Light Weight Flywheel...

Post by ZeroK66 » Fri May 25, 2007 12:33 pm

Hi Guys,

Well it is quite clear this is the next step for me... wondering what others out there were running, where you sourced it and how much it cost.

Suggestions welcome.

Cheers,

Hi,

I think vastperformance do one which looks quite good. Also, www.clutchmasters.com is pretty popular I think -
replaceable steel friction liner and steel ring gear.

when i sold my car i sold LWFW and LW pulleys to MRC..also thing about removing your viscous fan assembly and fitting an electric 1..the more you can remove from the engine that uses the engine to turn it the better and easier the engine will rev and the less power your'll lose..
you have a big space where your IC's were so why not think about feeding more cold air into your airbox from the front..
seal up the holes and get a direct feed in..

Agreed - I've been thinking about ways of getting an extra cold-air feed into the stock air-box by using some tubing routed from the front grilles (like on your M5 woody) - but there's so little room in the bloody engine bay to get the tubing in .... grrrr!

so off topic leon and im sorry for that..B5RS4 bumper style grills with a cold air feed taken into the airbox..or merc diesel louvres in front wong just beyond the indicator feeding the airbox...
the last idea i toyed with was to run some tubing from the front side of the air box behind the head light into the top of the IC shroud..as the air came into cool the IC's it would also be sucked into the airbox...
