Standard equipment in Canada i think.
We're that much more edgier than Murica.

What's a flex disc flywheel?

I've seen reverse flywheels where the flywheel is on the trans side and it's the pressure plate that's bolted to the crank (old VWs), I've seen "modular" clutches where the flywheel, pressure plate and clutch are riveted together as an assembly and bolted to a flexplate like you'd bolt on a torque converter (Chrysler) and I've seen dual mass flywheels.

Never a "flex disc flywheel"

Automatic buyers, which Toyota predicts will be the majority, will find six speeds and paddles on the steering wheel. Revisions include additional clutch plates and a new torque converter to cope with the newfound, well, torque.

But that is, as you've no doubt observed yourself, referencing the automatic.

Think he meant dual mass.

I forget what it was called in the earlier Japanese videos, maybe flexible flywheel? it basically sounded like a flywheel that had a flex plate as its center section, or it was a really bad translation of a dual mass sprung flywheel.

solid, outer rotating part and a thinner ‘flexible’ plate, which are secured together.
The aim of the flexible flywheel is to provide additional spring mass,
which changes the resonant frequency of the vehicle’s drivetrain.
As a result, vibration is kept to an absolute minimum

it is recommended that the flexible flywheel is replaced at the same time as the clutch

[RZNT4R]

Ah so dual mass but without internal springs and weights or centre bearings, but dual mass in the loosest sense of the word, there isn't much spring or flexibility in a steel plate in that axis, but I guess it's enough to nudge the resonant frequency.

I really hope it's not a dual mass flywheel. They generally are heavier no? I wonder if a current gen excedy TF02 will fit....

[timurrrr]

Has anyone ever record a 0–60 acceleration with a lighter flywheel vs heavier?
Pretty sure a car with a heavier flywheel will be faster off the line.

Yes. You will get a little folder, paperwork outlining different NSA classes, a vinyl sticker and an ID badge in the mail a few weeks after purchase. You then can sign up for a few Toyota sponsored track days in which you can get some hands on time with an instructor in your car for a few laps... that is if your track event isn't postponed or cancelled because covid...

I'm back here trying to find the lightweight fun car that isn't p-car price. The F8x cars were just too big and didn't do it for me. Maybe my 2nd time around with a modded twin will do the trick.

no rattles in mine thankfully. i think the previous owner did the felt tape to the door jams. now my previous f30 335i... quite a few rattles there.

Haha, my F80 was surprisingly rattle free. My Supra though, that's another story lol.

Lol, what a bogan she is. I love it.

She must be half Australian surely.
