    Ive got a UDP with a lightweight flywheel and a triple plate clutch.

    I dont recommend it. Its very difficult to do a hill start, and will shudder to no end in start stop traffic.

    guess it depends on clutch

    Ive got an Alloy Flywheel with a custom single plate (should have taken photos of it before it was installed to justify cost :eek::eek::eek:)
    Is a pleasure to drive.
    Combined with UDP and Water Pump pulley, is way more responsive. Only problem I find is trying to edge the car over speed bumps. Was well worth the money.

    lol it's the same set, check the link ;)

    I'm still unconvinced on underdrive pulleys. Having run a lightweight, underdriven one now for about 18 months, i think it's killing some bearings up front, though as yet not sure what my humming noise if from. For my TT i'll either be going stock or one of the Ross Racing do-dads

    stillen ones do look the same

    From the looks of it, both the stillen and the Ebay ones both lack Dampeners.
    Seems to be a looong ongoing debate that was posted up a while ago when the GB for the Ross ones were on offer, including a loooong detailed bedtime story from Z1 (I think) stating that they dont believe the dampener is required. Do a search, there is input from many specialists that are far more experienced than I. Stillen ones might however have accurate timing marks on them, the Ebay ones definitely dont (running 1 personally). I just ran out of money at the time (common story) and my existing Harmonic balancer was shot, so had to opt for the cheaper of the 2.

    OOOOOH PRETTY PICTURES!
    just a dumb sparky, should have put them up before. I didnt give the Stillen set too close a look after seeing the price for them. :D

    I've got the unorthodox set. Nice and light and adds a bit of bling... not that you can see it when everything is back together:mad:

    tis okay

    My mechanic painted my Power Steering pump HOT PINK before he fitted it, just to be a smarta#$e :eek:
    In this instance, its good that you cant see something that youve spent money on
