The car accelerates much faster. By the feeling I meant it felt faster in terms of weight reduction as opposed to more power. ehh does that make sense?! haha

I am not sure how much lighter the UR flywheel is. It’s a smidgen lighter than the jwt fly which is 14.3 lbs vs the stock 23lbs. I don’t think that this mod will show up on a dyno, but I believe it does yield results on the road.

The rattle sound is just a louder version of that ugly noise that some of us get when we shut off the engine in neutral without the clutch engaged. It is the sound of the throw out bearing rattling against the flywheel. I actually will be in the bay area next weekend so if you are really interested in hearing it we can meet up. It rattles when the clutch is engaged under 2200 rpm.

The cost will vary depending on where you go, but both the clutch and flywheel should be around mid to low 400s each. I believe the UR flywheel is around 5-600 bucks. Install depends on where you go also, but expect to pay another 3-400 if not more depending on the shop.
