    Default Lightweight Flywheel

    I can buy a lightweight flywheel for half price for how much they cost ($240 compared to almost 500 ) 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

    Is it worth it?

    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
