JWT Flywheel
SOLD
Long story short:
Bought the car with the JWT already installed. Had my engine replaced under warranty and the techs told me that my clutch and flywheel needed to be "Replaced". They didn't mention that the friction surface could be replaced instead of the whole flywheel.
Decided on an RPS combo and had them installed at Specialty Z (Thanks Seb!!!) and was told that the JWT was totallly salvageable, just needed a new friction disc.
So I don't need two flywheels, and the RPS is already installed, so why not get a few bills back on the JWT? Right?
Some interesting info: Two different dyno runs show that I put down 273 RWHP (grounding wires, K&N drop-in, Blox spacer) on a dyno dynamics with no BS correction. Second run at Church Automotive (Thanks Sean!!!) pegged me at 286 hp at the rear hubs (same setup).
Both dyno shops were VERY impressed. I can only assume that the super light weight JWT had a lot to do with it.
The JWT has quite a few benefits:
Replaceable friction disc meaning you can potentially never had to buy another flywheel (friction discs are $65 from JWT).
Light weight/mass- This has the potential to free up a LOT of parasitic loss as we all know that rotating mass is much more pivotal to acceleration than static mass is.
Anyways, here are the pictures:

Friction disc definitely needs replacing.
Only "damage" I could find are some slight chips on the gear teeth. Shouldn't effect performance.


Retails for $450 brand new.
Asking $225 as is. Or $310 with friction disc replaced (I have to pay tax and shipping unfortunately).
I'd prefer local pickup, but I'm pretty sure this will fit in a priority mail flat rate box. So shipping would be $12.60 + insurance (I'll cover the paypal fees).
