[s-cars] Benefits of a Lightweight Flywheel

[Steve Mills]

It's not all upside. The car will be a little bit harder to start off from
a full stop without stalling the engine. The engine should be more
responsive, but depending on other mods this may not be that noticeable.
Also, lightweight flywheels are single mass, so you'll need a sprung clutch
disk and will probably have some chatter on engagement.

I went with a stock 7A flywheel (roughly same weight as stock) and I had a
bit of chatter, but no other issues.
