I'm
running both. An Exedy sport clutch and an APS 13 lb. flywheel. Needs a little gas off the line, but revs nicely.

i personally would spend the extra money and get a APS fly wheel just so i wouldn't have to look at that flashing cell anymore. that is if i could do it all again.
But i don't really care
I have the exedy sport clutch w/ exedy 13 lbs flywheel

I love this setup !!! just get a flashing CEL at least once a week not so bad. they say its due to how people shift. But it doesn't hurt the car

Do it yourself
Its time consuming but can be done if patient. It took me 7 hrs to do it the second time i did mine. Lots of breaks were required and b*tching at the car was need to be done of course

how is the drive with a/c on? I probably need more clutch control but DAMN, I hate driving with the a/c unless I have to, and with 3 other people in the car + a/c its quite a hassle.
I assume with a 13lb flywheel, it'll simply be hell.
.... so is it livable?

I have a 13lb flywheel and it couldn't drive any better. Except for the fact that i have pratically no compression in all 4 cyl's my car is better to drive w/ the flywheel. I think your car has some problems man.

oh, I just meant if the rpm's drop a bit faster with the a/c on and lighter flywheel.
Haha, I dunno what I really mean.. I just kind of feel shifting is a bit more jerky with the a/c on, and possibly with the new flywheel + a/c, the rpm's might drop faster then I can shift and let the clutch out, hence jerky.
I exaggerated a bit on the "hell" part. Its just a bit annoying sometimes, nothing really out of the ordinary though I guess. If it was that bad my car surely has something wrong with it.
So I take it, besides giving more gas from a standstill, drivability of the 13lb flywheel is pretty good, if not better than stock. Cool.
