Rich_p 23 Posted September 3, 2008 I am shortly going to be fitting a be3 1.6 box to the 309 (it already has a 1.6 box but the incorrect be1) Will I really notice any difference if we fit a 1.6 flywheel at the same time? Or am I best using the money elsewhere on the car? The engine is a standard 1.9 lump btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonnie205 1 Posted September 3, 2008 it lighter so worth doing yes, ok you may not notice it but it all helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shalmaneser 26 Posted September 3, 2008 You may as well if you've got access to it? Are there actually any disadvantages to lighter flywheels, if you're not a moron who keeps stalling their car? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James_R 3 Posted September 4, 2008 Yes they do make a difference through 1st, 2nd and 3rd, and not so much after that. Doesn't affect the idle at all, it's still pretty heavy compared to a "light" flywheel, but a massive improvement on the slab of metal the 1.9 fly is.

Baz 421 Posted September 4, 2008 I think it's very noticeable... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
