Any experience with F1 Racing chromoly lightweight flywheel

Postby michael » Wed Feb 23, 2011 11:38 pm

Hi All,

I'm thinking of getting the above flywheel with a standard exedy clutch for a standard NA8. Does anyone have any experience in particular with that flywheel and whether there are any quality or other adverse issues with it.

Thanks for your feedbacl
Michael

There are a few guys using them over on the big forum and also on mt.net. The flywheels seem to have a good rep but the consensus seems to be to steer away from the F1 Kevlar clutches.

Thanks zossy.

I assume the big forum you mentioned was miata.net. I have read comments on their site.

By the way what is mt.net

Regards
Michael

Searching there can be useful, but posting there can be an inflammatory experience. Don't say I didn't warn you! :)

Hi have a F1 chromo fly wheel for my NA6 engine I am building, although i have not used it yet, the quality looks good and the weight is as described. My weighs about 4.6 or 4.7kg from memory.

Thanks Si,

How long until you might have the car operational and would you please let me know what you think of the flywheel when you've tested it out.

Regards
Michael
