It depends on how you drive. I've got one in my car, but the engine is built
and I've got a very good touch when it comes to clutch engagement. Still,
it's a bit of a pain on hills. You have to concentrate on it. If you're
building a casual driver, I'd stick with either a stock flywheel or maybe
have a stock one lightened to 16-17 lbs.
