    (. Yes i did the search thingy)

    A little while ago, someone posted a vid of his 348 or 355 with a lightend flywheel.
    I remeber the engine jumping up in the revs!
    Does anybody know where this vid has gone?
    Since I am butchering in the clutch-area, I thought, why not go al the way?
    I am thinking confurting a duall-to single plate system, changing onlley the bearing on the throw-off unit and lightening the flywheel.

    Anyone?

    That vid was from corsa1997 over in Japan...it was an experimental unit for the 355 produced by EXEDY.

    I dealt with them for over a year trying to develope and import into the USA and had the rug pulled out from under me as they would not produce.

    I have since gone with a Michelloto clutch/flywheel assembly that is much lighter, but for $10K+ just for the flywheel and clutch plus $$$ for a completely redesigned propellar shaft it is pretty cool....the only way it can ever be used on the street is to now come up with triple disc with CF liners.

    FBB is who you need to talk with if it is for a 348

    The flywheel is different between the dual and single disc clutch on the 348; actually just the plate on the flywheel. I have a spare flywheel for a single disc clutch - if you want to swap flywheel plates we could help each other out as I want a spare for my dual disc clutch.

    PM fatbillybob, he had a neat solution for making the flywheel lighter and getting rid of the kluber grease and other rattling guts/pieces of the OEM flywheel.
