Hi All
Onlu use this on the track, think it needs a new clutch, am i right in thinking it has a dual mass flywheel ?

As I am on an upgrade path with the car should i go for a lightened flywheel ?

If so how much and what clutch do i then fit ?

Looking forward to the replies, cheers, rick

Wrong on it being dual mass unless its an aircon car.

Light weight flywheels make a big difference from what I have experienced. My race car picks up and drops revs mouch quicker than my road car.

You can lighten the standard unit and then have it balanced for around £100 (what I did it for) or you can convert to an M20 lightened flywheel but you will need to modify other parts. There are plenty of threads on the M20 flywheel conversions if you do a search.
