Message: <blockquote data-quote="koolspyda" data-source="post: 679060" data-attributes="member: 2832">aftermarket lighten flywheels are 'lighter' due to different material composite and NOT by 'local' skimming.That is a low-tech way of doing things (exactly like cutting springs to lower the car so you look cool)BY skimming the surface area YOU are reducing the thickness of the flywheel in the hope of reducing weight.THAT is a compromise way to improve !!! Hence the silliness of complains that one will lose torque esp going up hilll! :cool: Note the difference! It s almost like saying cutting springs will help in body roll as the car sits lower :rolleyes:BTW aftermarket lighter flywheels DO NOT / IS NOT done by skimming it. Please do not confuse with with the el-cheap way to do things. <img src="https://zerotohundred.com/forums/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" data-shortname=":confused:" /> THe danger of skimming flywheels is if it done too much, when enourmous pressure is applied to it (shifting gears) , it will CAUSE BREAKAGE!!IT is the same reason why rotors/brake disc if skimmed toooo much will crack.YOU are only putting yourself in DANGER. think about it!! <img src="https://zerotohundred.com/forums/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
