just had a lightweight flywheel fitted along with new clutch and bushes..

i like lightweight flywheels!

the new one was 4.2KG and the original one was 9.8KG (we weighed them) so i saved over 5KG just on the flywheel!

Good stuff. Much difference in acceleration with the flywheel or has it just made it more responsive?
