Hi guys i have a question.. My 4age silvertop doesnt have a flywheel, according to my mechanic,. Any 4age flywheel would work in my 20v 4age st as long as its an 8bolter.. How sure is dis? Thanks

Yes. But if I'm not mistaken the 16v ones are heavier.

i see.. if thats the case then i think it should be okay since im not planning to race my starlet.. by the way does heavier flywheel = less power?? thanks

Not really less power. You will have slower acceleration in first gear (and possibly second) due to the extra inertia, but in higher gears, where the speed of engine acceleration matters less than actual power, you won't notice any difference.

Yes just a bit less power on top end. BUT... more torque baby. ;) he he.
