Lightweight Flywheel

[MINI]

I can buy a lightweight flywheel for half price for how much they cost ($240 compared to almost 500 :D) and I am just wondering if this would be a good idea.

Stock weight is 17 lbs and the light one is 8 lbs.

It would be installed on a Mini Cooper Non-S (Not supercharged)

Thanks for any info :goodjob:

doesnt matter, Yes it will be fine and you will feel the car reving faster and you will love it...DO IT!

[Black4DrEK]

yea it will rev faster... BUT i wouldnt want one on a STOCK car with no mods!!!


anyways i had one on my old setup and it DOES make a difference!

I have several things. Intake, exhaust, etc.

Is it worth it?

[Black4DrEK]

anyways i had one on my old setup and it DOES make a difference!why wouldnt you do it on a stock car? somthing wrong with it being maybe the first mod...?

Haha no guys I'm just at the point where I'm starting to open up the engine for further mods. I cant really do any more bolt ons.

[Black4DrEK]

yea, well i would rather have a bit MORE power to go with the lighten stress on the motor.. ...

I mean its not a BAD idea just not one of the first mods i would put!

I mean its not a BAD idea just not one of the first mods i would put!Actually a flywheel is a pretty decent mod even if its a stock car.The only draw back is that it does require a little more revolutions when taking off of you will stall.Other than that I dont see any other problems
