    Nice baffling action around that IC. What size is that IC core? Looks pretty thick.

    I'll be using the F1/eBay flywheel... and you can haggle them down a bit.

    A few other reputable members have used/are using them still to wondrous avail. Lightweight, steel and fairly balanced from the get go.
    (see pics in my thread. Its a good piece.)

    Oh ok. I never heard of them before so I was kinda leery of the quality.
    I get nervous when it comes to flywheels.
    Wouldn't want anybody to experience this:

    Any verified documentation as to which "eBay" flywheel those guys were using?

    Great build! That throttle body elbow needs some attention.

    Not that iam aware of. The f1 flywheel might be good,I
    just have no knowledge of them. Just make sure research is done on it
    before you install it. Just my 2cents.

    Heres another. Not sure if its a ebay flywheel or not.

    Thanks guys. I think I'll be fine with the F1 flywheel as others have had success. Also a different elbow at the tb will be used, the one pictured was just for mock up.
