	I guess I will do that. But I was told that the starting weight
for the 91' 200 flywheel was like 17 lbs so that is already low if you can
find a good used one I would think.  WHat is the difference?  DO you know.
Between MC and 3B Flywheels besides weight I mean.

	Hmmm, must be only if REally light.  I know someone out there ahs
a 5lb unit I think but they said it is almost impossible to launch the car
with it that light.

	Hmmm.  That has a 3B in it doesn't it.  NO wait, you have the
stock CQ motor modified so you have a CQ flywheel?  Or is it an S4
Flywheel?  I think the 200 3B unit is only 17 lbs but he 4kq stock unit is
about 27 I think.   L8R
