Aluminum flywheel and lightweight clutch
Posted: Sat Feb 05, 2005 8:06 am
I'm going to need a new clutch soon, the new stock fiero replacement clutch isn't holding up to the 3.4 like I thought it would.
I was looking on SPEC's website and noticed they sell a lightweight clutch option. Anyone know how much lighter it is? Just wondering if its really worth the extra $80. I imagine they took the weight out of the pressure plate. I'm not running a huge torque motor so I figure it should take any abust I can throw at it. Anyone have an opinion on this part? I don't know anyone that has a lightweight option.
I'm also going to order an aluminum flywheel from the fiero store. Does anyone here know how much it weighs compared to the stock cast iron 88 flywheel? The cast flywheel weighs a ton and I figure I could make this motor alittle snappier with less rotating mass.
My 17" rims and tires are actually lighter than my 15" winter tires, and have a smaller diameter. Not much for rotating mass I can save there.
Thanks!
