Cupras Fat Flywheel

[h100vw]

I'd do a bit of hunting on the net but I reckon you could get away with dropping 10-20% of the total weight. Any more and it'll be too weak I think.

I am planning on doing a job on the A3 soon, not sure the std clutch will hold up what I ahev planned for it.

ECS ship a flywheel that is 8lbs lighter than std!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how much roughly does this cost to do?

A machine shop in Mascot did mine and one for GolfLoon for $70 each. Thats a lot cheaper than i expected.

It would be harder to find someone to do a KR one Static as they are a back to front clutch and would need a special jig.

They are also not as heavy as a VR6 or Cupra one.

Its the same flywheel as a T4 4cyl and a G60, I took 6kg's of the Caddy flywheel and it still idles smooth and revs so much better. Just remember to get it balanced after machining.

The Cupra flywheels I mean not the KR ones.

i wouldnt mind doing this but theres no way im touching it how much you reckon a mechanic would charge for the whole thing? should i get a new clutch whilst im at it? Its for a 1995 ibiza GTI BTW

I wouldn`t do it on a GTI Ibiza. Its a back to front clutch, so a machine shop will have to make up a jig to do it and its not necessarily a benefit.

The cupra flywheel is completely different and can benefit from shedding some weight.
