I have a light steel flywheel from Racing Beat that has low miles but will need to be balanced at a machine shop. If interested, PM me.

Are you planning to buy one new? With the prices listed on the Racing Beat site, it seems silly to me to pay that kind of cash, when you could just go get an AL unit with a replaceable friction surface. The 5 lbs also does not seem like a significant enough gain to justify spending that kind of money.

Honestly, save this money for a rebuild, new differantial, tires, wheels, racing seat, etc.... any of those will make a much more significant difference to the car.
