      you can, a lightened flywheel only increase hp by taking away parasitic loss. It also makes the engine rev quicker.

      I dont know of any site selling aveo lightened flywheels, although you could take a stock flywheel to a machine shop and have them make one.

      i have no idea, maybe you could get them to make other parts too, like some pulleys or cams too. Those will give you more HP also, maybe they will give you a good deal, and you could sell them (to me )

      I had a friend get a custom flywheel and clutch from Paeco in 99 for his Impreza.

      they just need you to send them a stock flywheel and they will make one up... I should also mention the clutch/flywheel setup was $1500

      a decent light weight flywheel is usually aluminum. But MOST of the time you can take a lot of weight of the stock flywheel and still maintain 100% of its integrity.

      i believe my vw wheels was cut from @ 20lbs to 12.5 lbs. And it was a stock flywheel. You can buy a 8.5 lbs aluminum one though..
