I would shy away from Suzukird as they do not have the most stellar reputation in the Swift/Metro community. Some people have gotten what they paid for but many have had bad experiences too. If you want to try the lighter flywheel idea, try the one off the 1.3 instead. It's a cheaper part that can be found at the junkyard and if it doesn't do anything you are not out a lot of money. Plus, the clutch is a weak spot on the G10 and having the larger 4 cylinder clutch would probably be a reliability upgrade. This is especially true if you like to pulse and glide and use the clutch to start the engine at the end of a glide. It's not something I know from experience, but it is on my list of future mods for my Metros.
