buy a light weight flywheel… your just asking for trouble when you start milling down a stock one… especially when you are going to be running higher rpms… i can get a few different flywheels for the ka’s and sr’s. GT ---

I know a dude who lighten’s his own flywheels but on a honda… Hes never had any problems, but has never pushed over 170whp Lighting a Stock Flywheel is a real “do at your own risk type deal” and I would do as Greg suggusted and actually buy a proper one. ---

I bought from these guys and was very happy with the service/product: [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Fidanza-flywheel-Nissan-240SX-89-98-2-4L\_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33732QQitemZ8010907201QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Fidanza-flywheel-Nissan-240SX-89-98-2-4L_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33732QQitemZ8010907201QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW) Plus, the flywheel is only 11 lbs… Just a consideration, do what you gotta do. 🙂 ---

thanx jackal , That the most usefull thing I saw in the entire post , I will honestly think about bidding on ebay for that one , I was just asking because lot’s of poeple in the dsm community or even the honda 's have had the flywheel lighten at a machine shop to shave some extra weight , I figure it would cost me less that purchasing a new one . Ebay here I come . ---

I had the OEM flywheel in my prelude lightened from 19-11.5lbs… it was done by Leitner & Bush over 40,000kms ago… no probs at all, and less than half the price of aftermarket. Emilio
