WTF has being 50 years old got to do with anything??

WinFreak

Nothing, but drivability might reduce a bit and therefore the average 'normal' driver might not like it.

Hence the lump of a flywheel honda put in to make it more drivable... so no, Honda didn't get the balance right, they just widened their market by making the car easy to drive for people without any feel for the engine.

Thanks for the replys guys, think it will be worth giving it a go then!

Just a word of warning, You may experience a chatter when coming off revs if the flywheel is light. The OEM Flywheel is weighted and absorbs vibration. I recently fitted an Ultralight Competition Clutch FLywheel and it makes the most horrid chatter when revs drop below 4k. Almost sounds as though something is grinding. Very annoyin if the car is your daily driver.

Nobody volunteered that little but important piece of info prior to Purchase.

In terms of Performance...

Yes you feel a little.. BUT honestly speaking, the difference is negligible and certainly not Worth £280+

.... And Im not 50. (not that it has anything to do with it!)

So it's only you young pups that can drive tuned or performance cars eh and us oldies may struggle?

Thanks for the tip.

The post above yours is a great example GaryB, 'You may experiance a chatter' what kind of downside is this? a tiny noise?

MODZ ARE STUPID STANDARD CAR IS KING

I'd consider that a real downside given I do 30k miles a year in mine... It'd drive me up the bloomin wall.

chatter? is it fitted correctly......?

i run a 4.4kg flywheel with an exedy stage one clutch on my accord..... Only downside is easier to stall, and i takes about 2 mins of driving to learn to apply more revs.....

admittedly only uprate when the clutch is on its way out...... no point taking the box out for a flywheel as what is 380 is a whole lot more

Moderator comment: There's no need to shout, thank you.

Most modifications have both upsides and downsides, and it's very useful if members with experience of products being discussed point these out, as h4mmer has done.

You'd have to be a catastrophic fool not to appreciate that
