Yup,

I joined the band wagon and got myself the street disc and pro-lite flywheel.

I'm getting it installed tomorrow i'll post the results.

rattle: cement mixer effect upon accel from low revs in high gear
when hot, rattle ad idle is fairly loud
clutch stiffer than stock and less street friendly IMHO

happy with mine

Nice.. I have seen some bad things with spring hub clutches though, like the spring popping out ruining the clutch combo.. Which is why I steer clear of them.. Your setup is nice though ..

I've noticed the same thing...as far as idle rattle when hot, but once you get used to it you'll not care. LOVE mine too!

Do any of you guys have a video of how fast it'll rev and how loud the chatter is? I just dropped the car off so I won't have it for a day or two.

I have the streetlite flywheel with 6puck clutch and I don't hear any cement mixer like noises. Only thing I hear is it you try to slip the clutch under 2k it makes some noise, but thats expected from a 6puck.

OT: Hey man thanks for that!

IT: pedal becomes stiffer than stock and the engagement point is somewhat closer to the floor which I prefer...you just need to have 1 fit leg I suppose!

Post up some videos if you can. I would love to see how the engine REV's. And if there is any chatter. I am also looking into buying this set up or the JWT.

I have this same combo and I love it. The you can really feel the flywheel. The clutch is a bit stiffer than stock, but thats a good thing IMO. Definately still streetable.
