Hi all,

I found a few threads on lightened flywheels and everyone agrees engine response is improved. But what I'd really like to know is if there's any downsides.

I need a new clutch and I'm wondering about getting a lightweight flywheel too. I just want to know if I should expect any aspects to be worse. This is a street car with a 3.6 and I assume TVR set the flywheel mass for a reason, so has anyone found problems with:
  • lumpy idle (with or without A/C on)
  • difficulty pulling away
  • any other dramas?
Thanks in advance for any experiences shared.
