[TR] Lightening a TR flywheel

[Rye Livingston]

I went with this one from British Parts Northwest on my 1960 TR3, and unfortunately they are out of stock. But I really like it.  Stock is 31-31 lbs, this one is 9.2.  I really don't notice any difference starting off, but I definitely notice how much quicker it revs up.  Also going with this flywheel I upgrade to TR6 clutch, pressure plate and I think throwout bearing too.

I have a Bastuck lightened wheel. The engine idles nicely around 900 rpm - so needs a bit more revs than with stock. You also need to stoke a few more revs to move off smoothly, but is much more responsive and ‘sports car’ feeling. I would definitely do it again.

What is the general opinion of lightening the TR3 flywheel for use on the street? Just thinking while everything is apart to be balanced.
Thanks,
