I’m thinking about purchasing a Sachs disc and pressure plate, as well as a lightened (13 lbs) flywheel from a seller on Craigslist. The parts are all new in boxes, he ended up selling the car before he had a chance to install. I’m fine with the Sachs parts but the flywheel is from European Motorworks in Hawthorne CA.
What are the pros and cons of a lightened flywheel. And does anyone have experience with this specific flywheel? Thanks in advance for any input, John |

Pros = Less rotating mass, allows quicker change in RPM/better throttle response
Cons = In theory less mass to the flywheel makes getting off the line more difficult, in practice though I have not noticed it. EWM took the flywheel on mine down to around 12lbs if i recall. I like it and wouldn't worry about running it on a street car. |

Thanks for the input, I am leaning towards the purchase of the lightened flywheel, disc and pressure plate.
The current plan is to build my 1.7 to a 2056, and this will be a Sunday, fair weather car, so I should be fine. Cheers, John |
