wow, damn. just out of curiosity what was he driving and what could have provoked him to have done this? had you been driving alongside him up till that point or were you already slowing for the light, then he did his thing?Quote:

Rather than look at just the actual weight loss in the flywheel itself.
Look at the inertia of the thing & where it is in relation to the engine & wheels.
The inertia of the flywheel is something the engine must overcome before it does anything else.
Any reduction in flywheel inertia (weight) is multiplied through the gearbox. Hence the effect being greater in lower gears
Now speaking from experience, I can tell you that will notice the difference in an EP3.
Using one of our flywheels, the difference is a positive change in the character of the car without negative side effect.
What should also be mentioned is that on standard cars, flywheels like ours can’t cause situations such as described by Philip Lee.
Problems as described generally only arise when lightweight flywheels & other engine parts are combined with incorrectly set overrun fuel cut, TPS & poor tuning.
But then again, Mr Lee isn’t talking about an EP3 either, rather lightweight flywheels in general.
Anyway, before you all go off the deep end…
Please… Look at it realistically…
The EP3 is very similar to the DC5 & even the CL9 in the driver train.
Is the EP3 really so special that a flywheel & clutch that works like a charm in the DC5 & CL9, is just so mismatched to the EP3?
Bare in mind the benefit in the other cars is widely known & without drivability issues.
& just to question your manhood…
My wife drove a DC5 Type S for a number of years with a lightweight flywheel, in heavy traffic everyday without any of the issues described.
Weird huh…

He was driving an older model Jeep Jerokee....Typical....He got annoyed cause i was slowing for the light, like any GOOD driver should....Trying to keep ep3's in the good books remember :)....Oh well... Shit happens.
Personally I think that is a bad move. Honda's don't like non-genuine parts. I wouldn't be surprised if it came back.Quote:
