Unhappy light weight flywheels



Any help on:

clutch- so far I am hearing OEM

lightweight flywheel - I understand it, but I am new to Honda S2000 and don't know if its worth it. I bought the car used, its 2004, it needs a new clutch. Can anybody tell me there experience and what they have?

Well AP2's have a really heavy flywheel. A popular mod is to put an AP1 flywheel in an AP2. AP1 is like 13 lbs or something I think and AP2 around 20 or so. Can't remember the exact weight but definitely a lot lighter going with an AP1.

a lot of ap2 owners switch to the ap1 flywheel as it is lighter(18lbs vs 14lbs) but i have no experience w/ aftermarket.

I don't think flywheels make any noise...At least never have for me. A clutch might chatter though so maybe that's what your hearing..

i added a fidanza 8lbs flywheel to an ACT stage 2 clutch. makes stop and go driving a pita, however going through the gears is so much better. my ap1 however isnt a daily, if yours is i would go with OEM ap1, just my .02
