Skye is right on the money. But I'll add an additional .02. There is
absolutely no legitimate reason to use an alloy flywheel for a daily
street driver. In addition to wearing out your clutch in record
time.....it certainly could be potentially dangerous due to the engines
tendancy to "die" on starting from a standstill without excessive revs.
If one were trying to enter or cross two lanes of very heavy traffic..to
have the engine stall...well you can take it from there. Let the club
and circuit racers do this mod. everyone else take notice. Again, just
because they sell "go-fast" parts doesn't mean you ought to put 'em on
your car or that you really "need' em.
