As Harold says it is easily done.
I have just had mine recently done by a local machine shop with a decent
size lathe - BTW non automotive shop
No holes and most of the metal removed from the periphery - where you get
the most bang for the buck.
Weight was reduced from 28.6 lbs to 22 lbs
Have photos but neglected to take any post surgery measurements.
Had the flywheel plus clutch assembly balanced afterwards.
Facts are that this will reduce acceleration and deceleration times. Does
not affect the output or reactive torque but times are reduced.
Kinder to OD clutch too.
I was worried that the idle smoothness might be affected but can hardly
notice any difference.
Shuts down quicker too.
No doubt that car is livelier.
Good value for $65 (machining - not balancing)
