Does anyone else see a resemblance?

Chiken your going to love this exhaust man, it sounds great and feels good too.

sorry i didnt get a sound clip or video up yet, been busy with bodykit fitment all day, planning on having my veilside kit up this week or early next week. just me and a friend doing the fitment but once its perfected (im the judge) it will be transforming from Ti Grey to Sunlight Silver

I suppose it was difficult for me to see in his pix that the outter holes were not milled out. Thanks for the clarification though, my ACT indeed has the outter holes milled out, thus I can conclude that the box (which says Prolite) indeed contained a Prolite flywheel.

Thanks!

I'm loving all these reviews for flywheels/clutch's and the RB flash. Makes my choice as to what mods to get first allot easier.

I just got the Exedy stage 1 w/the ACT streetlite. I have to say drastically different from the stock engagement. The clutch catches almost immediately and harder, much improved from what it used to be. As for the flywheel I went w/ the streetlite over the prolite because I wanted to keep the torque loss as low as possible and not loose too much inertia w/ a lighter flywheel. My only question about the new flywheel is that some say it's heavier than stock due to the addition of the counterweight, can anyone confirm that?

I have seen the BHR one - it is nice (and stupid light); and comes with a throw out bearing.... or his clutch does; one of the two.

The BHR Flywheel is a super piece.....light and well made. The Spec clutch with the lightweight pressure plate is stupid light as well...

Now I just need to get my sorry *** to do the install

RotaryRX8... you do not need to replace the clutch due to the squeal.

It is a throw out bearing.

If you plan on replacing the bearing it is a good time to put in a flywheel.

Check out the Flywheel thread.

No need to coment here. BHR! FTW!
