well i finally got spec stage II and fidanza flywheel in the car, still waiting for it to break in. wow, i died like 5 times before i got in on the road:) - but got used to it.

anyways, what i noticed the car sounds a little different, it got quiter and the KA's "bzzz" sound got louder. maybe its just me, anyone else had that? :aw: :eek: is that normal?

the slight increase in buzz is normal, and is caused by the flywheel (most people don't ever notice it). Anytime you reduce rotating mass, specifically on the ends on the crank, you will increase Torsional harmonics, and cause more vibration. It should be a more noticable increase with the clutch disengaged, than it is with the car in gear, and the clutch engaged.

With the car in neutral and revving the engine, how much faster do the revs go up?

it should rev, and drop revs faster with clutch disengaged... maybe it's only slightly better?

well it makes some difference in nuetral i drove it back and forth to work, but in gear its a HUGE difference. the car just wants to go, cant wait till i can really push it.
