nelmo Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 That makes a mockery of the 'Americans only have straight roads' myth - I would LOVE to live wherever that is... Doesn't sound much faster revving than normal, although I'm sure it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninesomething Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 I've watched the second one before. If my clutch dies I'm def going light clutch/flywheel. 👍 15 minutes ago, fizz said: also having just watched that whole vid... as a 986 S owner with a 987 shifter swap im still jealous of his gearbox throws!

Exactly We can reuse the flywheel when changing clutch so why not the other way round? My 996 with LWFW also has a lighter racey clutch so I'd be interested to know how much smoother a standard clutch would drive with the LWFW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninesomething Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Guess it just depends how much life is left on the original clutch/cover. Although if you get in there and it's worn replacement stock parts are not expensive. Sachs do a performance disc but it's a bit pricey.

Ninesomething Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 Further research seems to say that the Sachs sprung performance clutch soaks up some of the crank/trans vibe and smooths and quietens things. There's also a theory that using a stock plate can actually cause the crank to break in early cars (like mine) because the crank isn't forged like it is in the 981 and `may` not be able to take the vibes. Seems a bit far-fetched but apparently there have been broken cranks. There's an article about it on the flat 6 motorsports website. Haven't read it. There are also people who say they've had them for ages with no probs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondered if you had a before/after comparison. Also do you know if it has the OE plate? Edited April 1 by Ninesomething Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also do you know if it has the OE plate? Bought it as is. Receipts talk about lightweight clutch also so I'd say No but anything could have changed since then. It's a bit snappy. Couple of friends have driven it and didn't like the clutch. When I first got the car occasionally I gave it too much revs to get off the line and that resulted in a bit of clutch smell. So that's why I think it's not OE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninesomething Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 This is made in England, lighter than the Aasco and designed for the stock clutch. Also a fair bit cheaper. https://www.atspeedracing.co.uk/products/billet-steel-flywheels/porsche/porsche-boxster-caymen-lite Bit of an expensive job. My RMS does need changing though..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
