Wonder how the aftermarket quality will be? There are great aftermarket parts or NOS stock for old Porsches and BMWs. Of course, the number of ppl owning old 356s and 2002s is prolly greater than what will be left for S2000s. There are parts that you just can't buy and hold onto. Like rubber parts.

In another O/T vein... many 50-60 year old vacuum tube guitar amps and guitars are just about as easy to repair today, as when they were new. esp Fender and Marshall amps. Fender and Gibson guitars. So many newly made parts, tubes, and ppl that know how to fix them.

buy which ever you like. the difference will be negligible and anyone that says otherwise is full of it



the only real con to the prolite is driving in stop and go traffic because the revs don't stay up as easily between slow shifts. Other than that, there's only positives in terms of drive ability and performance.

If I were to run the Act Streetlite flywheel with a stock clutch in a 2002 ap1, would there be any kind of gear rattle or chatter while driving or in neutral ? Would there be any difference ( good or bad)from a stock Ap1 flywheel?

The only con is your wallet being about $350 emptier. If your not going to get the prolight, then dont bother spending the money to get all the benefits of a lightened flywheel and just stick to the stock 14lb. There is really no perceivable hindrance/drawbacks to running the 8.3lb prolight to splitting the difference running a 10-11b, to stock, just losing out on all the benefits. Just go all the way or dont bother and save your money is my strong recommendation based on a lot of years running various weight flywheels in this car. The pro light is by far the best option, hitting the weight sweet spot and quality second to none for the F20 or F22. My car sees average 10k miles a year DD/track fun.

Agreed. I went with the Prolite/OE clutch for my AP2 and absolutely love it. No downsides as far as I'm concerned but this is a weekend/track car.

As mentioned, if your not going to bother with the 8/b pro light, dont bother spending the money for something a couple lb heavier and just pick up a used ap1/14lb flywheel for $75.

Thanks for the reply, also if i buy a used ap1 flywheel, anything i should look out for? i heard they should be resurfaced, can you wear out a flywheel?

Any used one will need to be resurfaced. They are normally fine
