Did my lightened flywheel increase performance?

[@19mati67]

Thanks for this. I wasn't sure if I should do this, or not. You convinced me to do it. I'm building a Locost from scratch in LA.

[@StuartSutherland-1]

Awesome, all the best.

Great set of videos, good work

How is it around town? Does a lightweight flywheel make it worse until you reach an open road?

[@StuartSutherland-1]

It’s absolutely fine.

Parked next to a vineyard with your sports car. What a life!

[@StuartSutherland-1]

Sadly no vineyards in Scotland, but the weather certainly decent!

[@chrischadwick5395]

Any idea how your flywheel compares in weight to the premier power ultralight? I assume the one you have is lighter than Caterhams lightweight flywheel? Cheers!

[@StuartSutherland-1]

The PP flywheel is lighter in believe and they also use a lighter clutch.

Great video. Is it a duratec

[@StuartSutherland-1]

No, Sigma (Zetec SE) 1.6L

[@BigDuke6ixx]

Pointless unless you want to race it.

[@StuartSutherland-1]

I disagree. Far better response on the twisty roads and a massive improvement in fast gear changes.

[@BigDuke6ixx]

@@StuartSutherland-1 why the need for precise measurement then?

[@StuartSutherland-1]

@@BigDuke6ixx Because I can I guess. I’ve not seen anyone do it before on a 7. Perhaps I need another hobby too.
