lightweight flywheels are a bad idea.
its going to eat up your 60 foots.

Heres a brief synopsis (from subaruforester.org) of what went down...Restrictor Plate Racing FTL!
IIRC: my best time from Saturday was 13.2 @ 103 which isnt my PB.
I'll be ready next time though.
From the day I installed my CAI, I wanted to clean up the hole that was left. I finally got around to installing a RS fender plug back earlier this year.
The last time I went to the track, it was still an uplugged gaping hole. My Avg trap speeds that 75 degree day were 105-106.99.
Today, I went to the track to see how my new MR WRX coilovers and ACT S1 clutch/Steetlite FW combo were gonna work out. Even though my 60's were in the high 1.8's...to my dismay, my trap speeds were 102-104 (in 15 degree cooler/drier air no less)!
I was really perplexed as to what was up. I got to poking around and checked my air filter...and it dawned on me how long its been since it was cleaned (and it showed from what I could see of it buried down in the fender liner).
Just for giggles, I left it off (that is the RS fender plug) for my last run of the day at which point it had warmed up to 70 degrees.
Guess what? 106.72 trap with a super nasty filter.
Needless to say, I won't be putting the RS fender plug back in.
If anyones interested, I will be putting it on e-bay with a low-reserve.

So you are having no problems with a streetlite flywheel? I guess the clutch/flywheel i ordered is 3 weeks backordered so i decided to cancel.
