Scott has put one in mine......

Nathan (stroked 3.5) has something similar in his and it works very by all accounts.

Any rough price estimate?

I also neeed to know how accesible / available the solution is. From memory the trophy flywheel is hard to come by.

Here's some idea of costing:

Titan steel ultralight flywheel @ £432
Quartermaster 7.25" M/Sport cluthc @ £745

Flywheel came in at around 40% the weight of the OEM one, clutch is also lighter and "stronger".

Looks like one of those bad boys could be heading into my car next time the engine is out! I take it that it has been tested in a road car and is driveable! :wink:

Sounds very interesting.

I wonder if it's worth it too merely as a replacement to the existing part? My clutch is fine now but maybe it'll be worth upgrading rather than simply replacing.

Any thoughts?

I don't want to spoil the fun but if you put in an uprated clutch, like I hav in mine, not the one mentioned here, that the next weakest link will break.
If you use kinda powerstarts, which you obviously want because this is the only time the clutch slippes, most probably the differential will split. I had this problem already twice, and just finished manufacturing an uprated diff for my gearbox. I will start testing it in about two weeks.
I also have another gearbox which had the same problem. So be warned. And if it breaks, I can help out with some fancy differential uprates. [smilie=icon_cheers.gif]

Still working on the design of it, for now it's just a reinforced normal diff.
