[kevo66 (weaveworx)]

Any about??

Helix does the clutch...but I couldn't get it in time to install it so I went with the OEM.

Expensive??

I get myself one from Sachs Race Engineering, when the "Diff thing" hopefully will be sorted out after the autosportshow birmingham...

Costs around 680 quid from the retailer in Germany.

You can even choose between organic & sintered pads :thumbup: But I guess the latter would be too extreme for normal road use...

Edit: got the pricing wrong first time...

Is the Megane flywheel the same as the 197s???

No, it isn't.

Hmmh...don't remember anymore - had to wait too long for it so I've quit. But I think that the price was 600Eur +/- 50Eur.

No, it isn't.

So I guess the only way to lighten the flywheel is to skim it down. Lots of lightweight versions for the leggy and 182 but squat for the 197.

You're right - the thing I did with mine...but if you can get a hold of a Helix dealer - ask them about the flywheel.

If you're going to give it to someone - be careful not to light it too much - it could brake and you should get it properly balanced.

madeno racing list a clutch kit but its 550quid

fedanza might be interested in making a lightweight flywheel if you could give them a spare to work with.

Does anyone know the weight of a stock clutch?

 

[Roas]

Believe it or not, I held one in my hand three days ago (my own one, broken in fact), but that idea didn´t crossed my mind ;/

Damn - I had my light weighted - it's now <5kg, but my intelligent father didn't think to weigh the stock flywheel when he sent it...:@!
