So I am considering a JUN flywheel for my car, its 700$ with shipping to canada but then iw ill have to pay tax and duty fees so around $1,000 is it really worth it? Like wouldent it be better to save 900$ and get my stocker lightened up a bit?

1000 bucks!!!! Thats crazy talk! Your gains will be only slightly noticable and compared to what 1k would do somewhere else like tuning or suspension you must realize thats not a good horse per dollar investment.

Only if it is packed in mary-ju-wanna worth $500. I had a Toda light flywheel and it does make a difference but not that much! $1000 is 2/3rds of the way to an O.S. twin plate.

You know I posted a link to a JUN flywheel for the CA for $361 bucks in this forum not even a week ago. Go look for a thread entitled "Bully stg4 clutch" or something like that. Its not even archived, its like past 5 days. Its probably the first thread on page 2. GAH!

EDIT: Its not even, like, some shady dude in his mom's basement selling it either, it is a legitimate company who stocks them whom I have bought parts from previously. I have also goaded members of this forum to purchase them with nothing but good results, as far as I know.

$1K is rediculous. I think I paid around $300USD for mine.

240 pounds turns into 470$ canadian, then its 180$ canadian for shipping and around another 250 for taxes and border fees bla bla bla. so its like 900 so still close to $1,000.

Check out the link in the post right above yours. I've purchased from this seller MULTIPLE times, and he's great to work with. Check with him before buying to verify shipping costs.

I've purchased 2 flywheels, a helical differential, and a set of HKS 264's and old school tomei cam gears are on the way.
