We're slightly behind schedule on this :doh: stupid bell housing won't fit over the V8 clutch so I've had to get Rob to post me back my old flywheel drilled for a 9" clutch.
On the plus side I've got the pinion machined down and its having a hardening sleeve put on it. This only cost a tenner too good price for some machine work

Can you explain why you would lighten it? I always thought a heavier flywheel was better or is that just for very slow revving engines?

Lighter means it can rev up faster, heavier means it has more rotational momentum though
Its why race cars have super light flywheels!

5KG off your flywheel in first and second gear is the same as loosing 100KG of you car when talking lap times

Ah that makes sense! I guess they have to be heavier for slower engines to keep them turning over, makes sense

It's horses for courses, in slow speed off road situation heavier is better, stops your engine stalling when you put a wheel in a hole etc but when you want to accelerate fast the less rotating mass the better.
