Made a huge sacrifice to the car gods with one of the big weight reduction mods the LIGHTWEIGHT FLYWHEEL!!

Went with this Ebay Special FX Flywheel for $140. https://www.ebay.com/itm/FX-RACING-C...72.m2749.l2649
It had good product reviews on Amazon so that was good enough for me.
I reused the stock clutch/pressure plate.

I also put in the Upgraded TOB, Velox clutch fork, Velox Pivot, new Fork clips

Not going to post a install instructions as plenty of those are out there. My only advice is taking the time to remove the shifter completely instead of the unclipping from underneath shortcut. Taking the shortcut made it a pain to remove and install the tranny if your doing this in your driveway on jackstands. And jacking the front of the motor makes it easier to line up and slide in

So now onto the weights
Stock Flywheel 19.75lbs

FX flywheel 11.75 for a MASSIVE 8lb LOSS!

Stock Pivot arm .75lbs

Velox heavy duty arm 1lb 6oz, for a 10oz gain

Also added Torque Solution transmission mount + Aliexpress Shifter base bushing

I haven't pushed it yet as I want to honor the breakin period but everything seems smooth. And to be honest don't notice any driveability issues. I did have to adjust the clutch engagement for the pedal. Overrall a nice chunk of weight off the front of the car again!
