   Right, i know that lightening the flywheel can make travelling in traffic difficult, but is this worth a buy?
   
   "Ultra light Flywheel, 30% Lighter than standard Units, MASSIVE improvement in acceleration - £88.00"
   
   Or will it be too lary to sit in traffic with?

   they are not too much of a drama, you soon learn to drive around the problem. you may pull away in second gear rather than first, which makes it a bit smoother. unfortunately there is a lot of "gran turismo BS" with regards to lightened flywheels. some people dont even notice a difference when sat in traffic, depends how you drive.
   
   however acceleration is lower gears and engine responsiveness on acceleration and deceleration is much greater.
   
   we use our one piece billet steel items on the road with no problems, and these are far lighter.

   ive had one of these in my track car for 6 months. brilliant work of art. car feels much stronger through the gears.
   
   i do drive the car on the road for testing and its fine in town etc... i have a valeo clutch. i think using a standard clutch helps.
