[QUOTE="koolspyda, post: 679060, member: 2832"] aftermarket lighten flywheels are 'lighter' due to different material composite and NOT by 'local' skimming. That is a [b]low-tech[/b] way of doing things (exactly like cutting springs to lower the car so you look cool) BY skimming the surface area YOU are [b]reducing the thickness[/b] of the flywheel in the hope of reducing weight. THAT is a compromise way to improve !!! Hence the silliness of complains that one will lose torque esp going up hilll! :cool: Note the difference! It s almost like saying cutting springs will help in body roll as the car sits lower :rolleyes: BTW aftermarket lighter flywheels DO NOT / IS NOT done by skimming it. Please do not confuse with with the el-cheap way to do things. :confused: THe [b]danger of skimming flywheels[/b] is if it done too much, when enourmous pressure is applied to it (shifting gears) , it will CAUSE BREAKAGE!! IT is the same reason why rotors/brake disc if skimmed toooo much will crack. YOU are only putting yourself in [b]DANGER. think about it!![/b] :confused: [/QUOTE]
