i know it isnt expensive at all, but does it do much? im lookin at an exedy one for my 95 honda civic lx

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.Different flywheels will make little difference in performance unless other changes have already been made.

if you like the car and want to keep it,then replace the flywheel.

since you have other plans for it then yes faster revs and better acceleration

Just wait till you need to replace the clutch, then do the flywheel at the same time. But it really isn't worth the $$$ in my opinion

i would not bother, you will never feel the difference. besides, look into how much you have to pull off to get to the fly wheel. as someone said you could wait until this clutch fails and then replace it at that point.

It's not worth it unless you change other things in the engine to make the higher revs useful or attainable. Well, it's not worth MY money anyway. Maybe you're loaded, though.

Replacing the flywheel does generally give you benefits depending on the car. Some cars have a flywheel in the 30 to 40 pound range. So changing it to a 15 pounder will definitely help rev the engine faster, and has given instant noticable difference.On the other hand, going too light on a flywheel, such as a 8 pounder, may make your idle a bit rough or stall a car, since it does not have the mass to keep it rotating. More likely a problem on a large displacement engine.Your civic most likely has a pretty decent weight to it, and is a small displacement engine. What you can do is change the clutch, and when the flywheel is out, have it shaved down a bit and balanced. Not sure the price but could be $75. Or maybe you get lucky and find a clutch and flywheel together on ebay or craigs list.
