Re: Flywheel

     It was very popular on the Air Cooled vehicles, and I can see some 
     gaines if your car is an all out race car.  However, when lightning 
     the flywheel it MUST also be balanced.  You'll want to have it 
     professionally done.
     
     Also, I don't think I would recommend it on a 16v unless it were a 
     manufactured lightened flywheel using alloys to keep the strength up.  
     I think lightining the stock one could weaken it.  Hey, how bout a 
     Titanium flywheel. :)   On an 8v it should be fine.

I read somewhere that lightening your flywheel will give you quicker times 
out of the hole and out of corners. Any truth to this and any drawbacks?
