Michael, 

Thanks for the informative article. What is the affect of a lighter flywheel on 
the performance of the engine, especially in every day driving? 

Regards, 

Charlie

Has anyone used a lightweight flywheel on their 100 BN1? I plan on going with a 
complete Le Mans kit and a lightweight flywheel and the car will be for street

I encourage as many people as possible to "M" up their 100's. 
Makes original cars that much more valuable.

My understanding is that the 'kits' installed by dealers varied; the

and, of course, the louvred bonnet. 

Someone wrote up a list of mods that could be done--even better cam 
profile, for example--that could be done to a 'stock' BN1/2 to achieve 
performance superior to a M, while keeping the original 'flavor' of the car.
