Awesome thread. Keep us updated. I was planning on buying a lightened flywheel when I replace my clutch, and I think I am going to go with the fidanza. Anyone know how much gas mileage will suffer?

i was thinking of going with act as my replacement for my clutch cus im preppin for na-t, as far as the flywheel goes ill just probably have it resurfaced. im glad everything worked out for you, now try not to burn this one too fast lol.

I'm all the way in PA for the weekend and for the trip i averaged about 25-26 mpg highway, the same as before the flywheel. The mileage numbers will probably suffer more in the city than the highway though as the RPMs climb faster.

I would just get the flywheel resurfaced. NA-T is going to accelerate quickly as it is and if combined with the lightweight flywheel it will make it a bit hard to drive. This time through im going to make sure it'll last this time

I'll post up my review for everyone to see in due time

Well, I promised to do a review of this sucker, but i wanted to get some 1/4 mile times to really show the difference, I'll hit the track next week for some numbers.

So far the performance aspects of this flywheel are very apparent. Quicker acceleration than my last setup but deceleration is also quicker making some of my passengers a little nauseous. From stoplights, you need to give it a little more gas and let out the clutch faster so it doesn't bog down. A spirited right foot really helps in this, but may not be to friendly for those who like the smooth ride quality expected from a lexus. Heel-toe in this car is a little different as well, but im slowly getting my footing back and it's easy to just blip the throttle to where i want it now. Gas mileage, as mentioned before, has a very noticable drop in the city, but no changes on the highway. It's funny these days everytime i lay on it hard, i look at the gas gauge and go "WTF i burned that much gas???" It goes down pretty quickly here smack in the middle of Indy and these rising gas prices are not helping.

When i get some number from the 1/4 mile i will post them up. I also want to do some autocross or club racing done this summer so i can't wait to see how that turns out. Overall I'm very happy with this upgrade. IDK if i want to keep the engine for long though....I'll hit that crossroad when it comes though

BTW if anyone can help me, I'd like to get a comparison video up just so people have a better idea of what to expect when buying one of these. Let me know if you wanna help, I'll let you know what i need. thx
