I managed to buy a brand new 7kg one for basically the same cost as a refinished one, just got to get around to getting the bugger in place now. I know i could have got a lighter one but really didn't want to make my car any more difficult for the biatch indoors to drive.

And I always have another flywheel if I feel that 6.1 could be lighter!

Yeah considering everyone's having theirs lighter, I might rework mine down to 6.0/6.1kg. Still doesn't mean I'll have the chance to fit it any time soon  :laugh:

I think they can go to ~5.5kg.

I'm sure mines around that figure.
