[bbaazz-08]

You can drop the subframe and slide the gearbox over.

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

I've got a megane flywheel if you need 1

what's the difference between a valver flywheel a willy one and a megane one

[MAXIBOY]

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

[summeh]

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

Lightened meganne flywheel / clutch setup ftw ;)

[Justin..]

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.
