My kinda old notes on my garage page: the stock DX flywheel is about 20lbs and the stock VX is about just under 16lbs. ACT Streetlite flywheel is 11.6 lbs. A Ralco RZ Aluminum Flywheel is only 7lbs.

The Ralco would be too light. But 11.6 sounds pretty good. Shaving 8.4 lbs would be a significant shedding of rotating mass and not affect drivability all that much.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
