Finally got around to swapping the lightweight flywheel in yesterday.




My thoughts on the flywheel: Just cruising around, I can feel minimal difference. I can tell a difference, yes, but just barely. It's when I go WOT that I really feel the difference. First and second gears rev out more quickly and after that, the engine is a little more willing to rev but not a huge difference. Here's the thing that gets me... About halfway home from my dad's house, I hit resume on the cruise control and heard the exhaust speak up. It was then that I noticed I hadn't heard it too much. I made a comment to Brigette, she said she was thinking the same thing. It might not be true, but we're both pretty certain that our exhaust is quieter.

Anyway, that's all for now. Big update coming in a couple of weeks.


I like this pic Richee, car sits nicely with these wheels!

I just installed the same flywheel on my new setup and I like it alot as well, you do notice it more has rev higher through the powerband rather then at idle, wish i still had my crusie control to test the theory with the exhaust level lol

I am very jealous, once I saw those wheels I was hooked too... I have spent the last two months looking all over the country for them... Hard to find when they are on a ultra low volume import tongue.gif I have just gone for 7th gen 16" for now, but I still hope to have those Caldina rims one day tongue.gif What spacers are you running in those pics, because I imagine they would look quite sucked in stock?

Looking good as always smile.gif

Thanks! I got a better quality picture, but decided this picture would be a little better to post. It still needs to be lowered, the wheel gap in the front is atrocious. Even without cruise control, just cruising at a steady speed, I noticed a difference in the exhaust. Yours might be quieter than mine though since I'm N/A and you're boosted. tongue.gif

I've seen your search for them. But there can only be one of us with these rims and I FOUND 'EM FIRST!!!!!!! Just kidding, they look great on a Celica, and I'm after an OEM look for this car so there really isn't a better choice. I have Ichiba 10 mm spacers all around, but I might be switching to 15 mm for the rear soon. I need to get it lowered then decide. With an offset of +45, I imagine these would be sucked in a decent amount.

Lol ya probably, problem is though my cutout wont close completely at the moment soooo i wouldnt be able to notice if there was a difference as of right now anyway haha.

Are you using coilovers or springs? I only have springs at the moment kindasad.gif

Regrettably, just stock springs. I had it lowered on Sportlines several years ago, then back to stock, then recently on TRD coilovers until one of the rears blew, now I'm back to stock again. I keep toying with the idea of getting more coilovers but the wifey doesn't like the idea too much. I'll probably end up on Sportlines and call it a day.

That's not entirely true. You can ask Daniel, I seriously considered your set for a long time, but then I realized that I preferred Daniel's friendship over the wheels. laugh.gif

That and I'll be converting to 5x114 shortly.

Since somebody busted me out in a Podcast last night *cough* DUSTIN METCALF *cough*, I suppose I can release a second teaser pic as to why I haven't touched this car in over two months.



Check out that shiny coat of fresh black paint. That's fancy!
