Hi folks,

Well, I think my 5kcstq clutch is about due.  I got a hold of the 
lighter flywheel from a 200.  I bought the flywheel for the 4kstq 
project, but since I'm going to be putting a new clutch on the 
5kcstq, I'm wondering if I shouldn't put the lighter flywheel on while 
I'm in there.  I'd get another one for the 4kstq project.

Is it a bad idea to put the lighter flywheel on the MC-1 car?  It's 
already a dog off the line IMO (unless you drive it a certain way, 
and I think I put the final nails in the clutch's coffin learning and 
practicing how to launch), so putting the lighter 'wheel on it might 
make it worse.

But they say lighter flywheels are good for turbo applications.

Any advice is really appreciated.

I think the priority, for this car, is going to be clutch (& 200q 
flywheel?), driver's side eurolite lens and Stongard (@#$!), 
windshield, full coverage w/glass ($#@@%!), and finally struts...

And that just almost brings it up to par...

Thanks,

Ken
