    Yeah, all good ideas, but I'm going to hold out and drive it stock while I save. If I still really want to make more power, I will take the engine out, do the chain, new MkIV headgasket, CAMS, springs, rebuild etc.

    Aw shucks.

    Sebs right, lsd with 3.94 is very helpful. But that starts to get to expensive for most people.

    I'm yet to source a clutch and flywheel for our cabrio project. Will a lightened flywheel give her more zip and how light?
    No idea what a stock one weighs.

    A lightened flywheel will lower the resistance to rotational acceleration (and thus moment of inertia) which will give you more 'zip' or an engine which will rev more freely (quicker). Downside to this is when you're cruising the engine will lose revs quicker because you have less momentum energy from the spinning flywheel as well as a slightly rougher engine feel as the heavier flywheel normally dampens engine vibration to an extent.

    A stock VR6 flywheel is 18.5lbs or 8.5kg. A lightweight flywheel weighing around 10lbs or 4.5kg is as low as you would go so anything in the range of 10lbs to 18lbs should give you net gains.

    I highly recommend anything from ClutchNet.

    Hope this helps,

    Tim.

    Clutchnet stage 5 is the goods. Drives like stock. But when you snap gears, you know it's grabbing.

    Autotech 13lb flywheel is cheap and still great for street. Makes the car so much better, vr's are real lathargic with the standard boat anchor.
