[TR] Lightening a TR flywheel

[John Linney]

I have the same one as Rye. 9lbs or thereabouts. Of course you have to add the weight of the ring gear.

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.
