I stopped by Mazcare yesterday and saw Charlie's ACT flywheel. It weighs 13lbs 11.25oz. That is a bit lighter than the RB flywheel. He plans on installing it this week in his car so we'll find out how it feels directly from him since he has also installed and driven the RX8 stock, with MS, and with RB flywheels.

Is that with the counterweight or without? I weighed my stock FD flywheel and thought, damn, I'm going to save about 10 lbs with my 11 lbs M2 flywheel. It was 11 alright, then throw on the counterweight and your up to 15. I must admit, it was a great improvement on the butt dyno. Could tell it better than I could my dp and cat-back.

Lego, OD...is it the scottish inn on Oakwood Road?

I've been away for the last 5 days on a Cruise with Disney Cruise Line. Let me tell you it was wonderful. I forgot what day it was while I was napping in the sun. I would recommend it to anyone.

Howdy gang,
As promised I am the guinea pig of a few odds and ends and the bottom line is the flywheel that I spoke of is the best I've installed so far! The response is great as expected, the balance is perfect (wasn't sure), driveability is unaffected, and the price is better than anything else. Denny, I left you a voice mail about it but just order it and we'll put it on for you.
Still no real definate word on the RB intakes (hurry up and wait)
Y'all have a safe weekend and I'll speak to you soon.
