If I were you, I'd get another flywheel, get it lightened and stick it in when you have the engine out....

You can have the one I'm taking out of mine for pennies? My replacement just arrived so even have packaging ready.

It's an idea dude, but DH< danny_p and myself want to get as much time as possible making sure the engine will be reliable and well converted, rather than spending time separating the box and swapping bits over.
Will do it when the box is off next though!

Do it while the motor and 'box are out.

Might be worth getting a crank seal and doing that too.

Definately easier to do with the engine out of the car.

Do it before you put it in and you won't regret it.

UPDATE:

Flywheel in with no probs - mates vr doesnt lose me as much as he used to up until im in 4th then his car just keeps pulling far better. DEFINATE upgrade, wish i had a longer 1st and 2nd gear

Clutch feels awesome, wasnt exactly heavy before but now just feather light.

Crank oil seal - never needed doing, turns out it was the sump gasket just beneath. So i have to put up with a semi - bad leak for another week, sump gasket easy enough to do though

Cost me £52.88 to lighten and balance the flywheel to just over 6kilo. Idles spot on hot or cold.

Need to get some cams/ or just the 1.. undecided yet just need do more research. Either way watch this space

I was wondering if you or someone could explain where im going wrong.  you say that the flywheel has been taken down to 6kg but one on ebay is being sold as 1.2lbs which is 0.5kg so is this one to be avoided?  is there a minimum weight of 5-6kgs or is that if you drill an OEM part? confused? I fookin am.
