I had my Flywheel lightened and balanced by a proffesional machine shop in Los Angelas (San Fernando Valley) called 'The Balance Shop'

$80 to lighten and $20 to balance after the lightening -

They told me that they managed to take about 4lbs of metal off the thing - any more than that and they felt that it would loose structral integrity - and some other comments about crappy english steel quality that comes off in big chunks when you try to shave and lighten .......

If I started out at 21lbs approx that means I now have a 17lb flywheel - not sure who that translates in an increase in acceleration but I guess every bit helps -

I had planned on installing it on my 2.2L once built - but all my 2.2L parts are on Ebay right now so that ain't gonna happen - at least for a while ....

Once I dig it out of the garage - you'll be seeing it on ebay with all my other parts up for sale at the moment ... I'll also weigh it and get the exact specs-

cheers
