Yeh i held the oem crank pulley in hand and was surprised at the difference, but after fitting i went for a test drive on some A/ B roads, yes initial acceleration does feel slightly perkier but nothing my lightweight flywheel doesnt do already, I feel like iv lost some top end pull as i cant feel the pull higher up speeds but the biggest thing i notices was slowing down or decelerating eg for a roundabout, going down the gears feel like it doesnt aid at all in my braking, its almost like there is no engine breaking and i have to rely fully on the brakes, or maybe im driving faster but instead of starting my braking after the last sign of 3-2-1 i have to start slowing down at 2... Does anyone else notice this? or maybe lightweight flywheel and pulleys are bad combo?
Anyway this is my initial thoughts, maybe i just have to adjust my driving style, as i tend to use super late braking into turns, but even the pull from 0-60 feels weaker, i cant feel it anymore, maybe theres less weight transfer so that actual punch factor is lower.. i dont know, just feels wrong somehow its like i cant feel the weight of my car through my butt hard to explain... =(
