    Vendor for Lightweight Flywheel GB?

    Looking for a vendor to run a lightweight flywheel GB.

    Specifically looking for aluminum flywheels, such as JB Racing.

    Can anyone help us out?

          I would definitely buy one if this happens within the next couple weeks.
          Right now I'm trying to decide whether to a lightened stock flywheel or drop the $460~ on the JB Racing one.

            I can get the unorthodox racing l/w flywheel but it retails for 200 more.

              i could justify it if it was that much cheaper than buying off of any website.

                I think I speak for almost all of us when I say that we're hoping to pick one up for under $400. The standard JB Racing pricing is a little hefty for most of us to justify on these old cars. If we can't hit that kind of pricing, fair enough - but it was worth a shot.

                Thanks!

                    i would buy the JB one, but it makes a lot more sense to have the single mass M20 fly lightened. I got a free junkyard one and had it shaved to about 12 lbs and put it on my old car. cost to me was less than 60 bucks.

                        QFT. This is the way to go, unless you're running some mad clutch setup.

                          Well guys Im pretty sure there will need to be a pretty good sized interest for this one to happen at the least 10 people. I will talk to JB Racing and see what I can do for you guys and from what I picked up you guys are aiming for under $400. Like I said no promises but I will see whats possible. I have to agree lightening up flywheels is by far cheaper but in the end its up to you, personally I've used a JB Racing flywheel in a 325i and its a nice upgrade. If you guys have any questions feel free to ask me!

                            Hey Greg - Thanks for the assist!

                            Even if we can just hit $400 (rather than UNDER $400), I think that would make us all happy people :D

                            I'm all for a full aluminum wheel --- thanks again
