Are you looking for a cheap first mod, or have you run out of other possibilities?

it's definitely a mid-to-late stage thing, imo, and somewhat 'controversial'.

Do it when you replace your timing belt>>>

but from an overall performance perspective...car revs a bit quicker...but there are other mods that are more beneficial....basically what Will and Sal said..

My experience with this >>>

I have had this for a while now. Personally I notice a nice difference in engine spool. After driving with it for 6 months or so, when I did my timing belt I decided to put the stock one back on to see if I really noticed a difference. The lightweight one went back on the next weekend.

Some will say this will cause damage over time, due to the removal of the rubber vibration dampener, maybe it will I don't really know. If I had a lightweight flywheel I wouldn't take a chance.

Otherwise, at the point you're at now it may make a nice addition. It's simple enough to put it on and try.

Just my opinion.
