increased revs?
too late now lol

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Tue Dec 09, 2008 8:51 pm

Yeah....lighter flywheels spin faster, so you rev higher....quicker. And you just learned to drive 5speed. On SRTs they are the causation of horrid daily driving amongst other shifting issues. If its a track car I say go for it, if it isn't I don't condone them.

ahhh well. We'll see how it goes... lol Thanks for the info though!

I wouldn't say you rev higher...but you will get a lot better throttle response, which is just fine on an n/a neon. The only potential problem would be that depending on how light it is it may have idling issues or could be more difficult to get going from a start due to a lack of inertia. But I really doubt it, you should be fine and you'll probably grow to like it way more...

your car is clean...

Not that you rev higher....you rev higher faster. Hopefully it works out for ya, can't turn back now.

Damn, the lightweight flywheel is on backorder.

Oh well, atleast the car is sitting getting no miles

. I've been using my dad's Range Rover... so BALLIN.

So if I rev higher faster...
lightweight flywheel + UDP (when i get it)+ 3.94 trans = hahahahahhahah

A lightened flywheel reduces the mass moment of inertia of the flywheel; which makes it easier to turn. It won’t necessarily rev faster, but it takes less power to turn it, which puts more power to the wheels (whcih consequently accelerates the car faster). The wheels are still mechanically linked to the engine/ground, so the engine will only rev as fast as the car accelerates.

patiofurnituregt · Post by **patiofurnituregt** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 9:03 pm

Your explanation made no sense...You said it won't rev faster, but the car will accelerate faster! and that the engine will only rev as fast as the car will accelerate.....YOU JUST IT WOULD ACCELERATE FASTER!

I don't know where you learned physics, but if you have two same wheels of different weights and applied equal force to each the lighter one will rev faster!

Who made the lightened flywheel you were gonna get?

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 10:09 pm

My point exactly LOL. I got no sense out of that either.

Took a dive and order the Boomba Rotor Covers in blue on Thursday night. Probably going to leave them blue, will look nice against gold calipers.

Hopefully the fronts will fit!
I miss my car.

can't wait to drive it again..

Sweetness!

Oh Jesus...don't add another color to your car! Get them painted/powdercoated gold or blaze red!

i'm a whore, what can i say

suave23 · Post by **suave23** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 9:48 pm

Damnit!

If you change your mind about the blue, let me know before you powdercoat them. I was debating on whether or not to buy those, but I know that was the last set.

So I got the car back today. Which means I had to learn how to work the new clutch and flywheel in the snow storm. Lol, it was fucking ridiculous.

But as far as it goes, the bite on the clutch is almost immediate, and the car does rev a little faster. The shift are tight, and rock the whole car hahah. Unfortunately I can't really get on it or compression brake for 500 miles, so I'll have to update after 500 miles. Which will be a while.

can't wait to hear how the clutch works out for ya, i will be installing mine this summer.

i wish

damn those look good, but i really like those bronze ones that someone was trying to trade to yellowpatrol that you commented on being 17s.

hah, i'd probably take those over the 6 spoke. if only i could find 16's. i'd paint em gold.

Nice photoshop but you should have switched the calipers around lol. They would look good on the car though.

You need kosei wheels.

theTeejmiester · Post by **theTeejmiester** » Sat Dec 27, 2008 9:03 pm

sorry man i no like those wheels on your chop.you NEED to find a set of rota GT3's.there has to be a set out there somewhere in 5x100

Already new clutch? How many miles were on your old one?
Car is looking great as usual.

around 46k. slipped like crazy. :/

oh well the new one is amazing.

i've ONLY put 175 miles on it since i got it back, 325 miles to go before i can finally get back on it again!!! the car hasn't seen past 4k. but from 3-4 it definitely rev's faster than before. gahhhh.

oh and someone asked what flywheel i got, i got a 95 neon clutchmasters flywheel, 9 pounds.

yellowpatrol · Post by **yellowpatrol** » Mon Dec 29, 2008 9:25 am

So it isn't unbearable? I've got the fidanza 95 flywheel, which is 7 lbs. It's not on yet of course, but I've had a couple people tell me it's noisy as hell and hard to daily drive.

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Mon Dec 29, 2008 10:45 am

It's not unbearable, but when your stuck in traffic, or just don't feel like driving, it's just another annoyance. But the driver feel you get back in return is so worth it. I don't think it's that much more noisy than stock, you can definitely feel them grab in first and reverse, but nothing bad. As far as difficulty for daily driving, maybe for the first few days. Then once you get used to it, your set.
