i dont know guys i think he means a stock lightened flywheel, from what i heard they can be very dangerous turnning into a flying buzz saw at 7400 rpms
If you're referring to a factory shaved flywheel, then yes, mine is lightened. It's very safe as long as you take it to a machine shop that knows what they are doing and doesn't try to take off more weight than they're supposed to.

Originally posted by bdb I second that! I have a Fidanza aluminum and it's been ok ever since the new design. I melted the center of the old one while at the track.
Throttle response is much better and the revs do fall, but not too fast. I like it.
If you don't take your car to the track then I imagine that you'll never have any problems. It's only when it get's really really hot from extended track sessions that it might happen.
Dunno, call up Fidanza and see if they'll do anything for you.

But what's the difference between going to the track and racing sessions?

what the stock flywheel weight and how much did u take off?
I just got off the phone with Fidanza, the man told me that, the OEM Prelude Fywheel is an exact matchup with the old design, they said that, they found out that with the old design it can prematurely wear out, so they made the design better by adding a bearing in the center, I asked him if my design was ok, and he said yes. He said it was a precautionary thing, and that i'll be fine.
