I don't agree, i've got a 4.1 for daily driving and track and absolutely love it. You do have to adjust your driving to suit. Just means you can't be lazy with the throttle and clutch. HTH

ian, is your 9 your only and daily car ? give it couple years and you may change mind

flywheels greatly affect driveability of cars and i find very easy to notice difference in cars with different flywheels (they are a big compromise of certain criteria)

Yep only car. I personally love lighter flys, my car felt slugish before the change. Engine revs up very quickly now and heel and toe is a lot easier. Even in traffic and town work with lots of stop starts doesn't bother me at all. With the right technique you can still pull away with no throttle. I've had mine for over a year and not once has it annoyed me. I'm not sure what your problem is with it to be honest??? I'd give it 8 out of 10 for best mods to car.

Spoon flywheel won't be nasty, look at the design of it.....

Their flywheel is a complete one pice one with no holes drilled into it, meaning it's got a decent weight distribution throughout and shouldn't decrease the inertia too much

Compare this with other flywheels such as Toda, their flywheel is of similar weight although it has holes drilled round the outer circumference to reduce the weight, means more weight is concentrated towards the centre of the flywheel thus reducing inertia

Not just the weight you have to look at when choosing a flywheel but also the design of it and the way the weight has been saved.....

I've found that a lighter flywheel makes the car better to drive, picks up from lower revs better which is what you want on the B16B as they can be a bit flat low down the revs as standard, all the chat about them being nasty in traffic is nonsense

i run the spoon flywheel and its awesome no adverse effects at all just smoother and more free revving gearchanges are much smoother too,
