You should be able to find a Fidanza
Have you a modded car already
Im sure you will know that this will only increase your throttle response, and 1st gear, If you have a relatively stock car you will feel some ill effects when the road starts to rise and you have no reciprocating mass to assist the turning of the engine
What are your reasons??

As the bat said, check out fidanza...

OR

You may be able to get some of the weight machined out of the stocko.. might not get it as light as the fidanza - but then you might not want it that light due to the reasons mentioned by the bat above...also might save you a bit of moolah to spend on other things.

thanks for the replies guys, so far ive got a trust airinx pod air filter, B&M short shifter, hurriane 4-2-1 headers, magnaflow high flow metal cat, and a 4" cannon made for civics but sounds awsome and gave quite a bit of power from just the cannon, stil running the standard 2 inch piping though, just the basics.. do you think its worth getting a flywheel?

cheers

In one word
NO
upgrade your exhaust first
Then there are better things like
your exhaust piping,
suspension,
cams, cam gears,
ecu
Throttle body
Intake plenum
RRFPR
Lightweight wheels
shall I continue...............

well at least the 1st 4 on the list would be good before the flywheel.

If you're still interested in a light weight flywheel, Jim Bob on Fordlaser.com is trying to put together a group buy for a custom made PBR chrome-moly job to suit B6 & BP motors. Price will hopefully be around the $450 mark...

This is an average way to take a little weight out of a flywheel but not I would rather paying a few more $$ for a light steel fly than creating a cast iron grenade.

Geez Greg I love your ability to extract the right words at the right time
Love ya work
But for the record that will ONY make big power when attached to a civic

Jerry What JICs do you have ...the SF-1s or SA-1s
Usually you would be best getting your TB bore out with new plate or grab a lerger one off another car and have an adapter made up
Is good for a few hp, not mountains but will help get the most out of cams etc
ie: more duration and lift will show best gains when air is not impeded in its delivery

Course bro! *rolling eyes*

My theory is "Paying out a ricer a day keeps the trees at bay!"

Seems to have worked so far, we got through Rally Q with only hitting a cow!

I do recall seeing pics of the tree incident

SF-1s, okay so height adjustment only
Still thats a cheap price
Nice find
