Cupras Fat Flywheel

**ibeezer** · 11-04-2007, 12:04 AM

Just had 3kgs taken off my flywheel, in the cupra. What a porker!. What were they thinking, putting in 10kgs of flywheel?! Anyway this probly isnt news to some of you guys, but now the ABF pulls like a demon. Im well happy with it. (Thanks to GolfLoon for all yer help, and Valver for the info). Its now got low down punch similar to the 8v, which makes it easier to drive normaly .I can also match the revs to the gearchange. Its got to be one of the best mods ive spent money on. Defnatly worth the hassle of pulling that massive gearbox out

Nice work - thought you'd be impressed. It's like gaining another 20% more torque

Nice, glad you are still luvving it Dave. Fat mission to pull the flywheel out, due to the hugeness of the gearbox, but worthit in the end.

Its a VR6 flywheel for anyone interested. You could take a similar amount of a VR6 one too

It shouldn't cost more than $100 to do but most firms wouldn't take on such a small job. I had looked into doing this awhile back but as I have a spare flywheel I'll do that and then the one in the car after to sell on.

Drove Daves Biza on Saturday and it went like a cut cat. I'm sold
