You can drop the subframe and slide the gearbox over.

That will give you room to remove the clutch and thus change the flywheel.

megane has different/bigger clutch and a 60/2 trigger pattern thats much better when running standalone management

Thus heavier and more rotational mass... inertia? Not good for racing cars? they tend to have small flywheels and small clutches...

isnt the flywheel the same size though, just has a different facing to it and different bolt hole locations for clutch?

Yup, clutch face surface is larger.

as above, no difference in mass, just larger clutch surface.

i guess the larger clutch would bring the mass up though ?

So you would have to get a 172/megane flywheel and clutch...?

i.e. williams clutch wont fit the 172/megane flywheel ?
