Does lightening a flywheel kill torque?

Considering this for the derv.

[thai-wronghorse]

No, it simply allows the revs to pick up / drop faster.

Is it also worth doing to an 8v?

[thai-wronghorse]

Apparently so.

How much would a new flywheel cost?

i would have to have a new one lightened and ready to replace the excisting one.

[thai-wronghorse]

Buy a second hand one seeing as it's going to be machined anyway.

Yeah, I couldnt find one but asked a guy off ebay to split one of an engine he was selling. Got it for £46 delivered. Had that lightened - balanced - fitted. Sold of my origional one to recoup some wonga. Best way of doing it if you cant afford to have your car off the road for awhile. Also put a new clutch in whilst i was at it for good measure.

which is what i have done. i should have made a vid of before and after fitting the flywheel but i forgot. anyway the car will be back on the road either tonight to 2moz.
