Sports flywheel

Impression

I'm a middle-aged man now. When I was younger, I could only drive light cars, and of course they were manual transmissions.
I finally got to drive the Roadster I've always wanted
I started with a short antenna, changed the shift knob, and installed a D steering wheel. I enjoyed making little changes to my car, but...
As a driver of a manual transmission, I also do blipping and heel-and-toe (it used to be called toe).

What bothered me was how the stock flywheel made it difficult to increase engine RPM, and even more so, how difficult it was to decrease it.
I press the accelerator a little, but the response of the rotation speed after that is dull due to the weight of the flywheel.

When I was consulting with the dealer, I found out that Exe has a lightweight flywheel.

Will it be easier to stall?
What about the response?
I left it at the dealer for three days, anxious and hopeful about whether the clutch would work.

The torque of the 1.5L engine started at about 3,500.
Thanks to the lighter flywheel, the torque starts to come in at around 2,400.
Since the engine power remains the same, there is not much response when revving up or the upward thrust.

What I noticed with the hood is that the RPMs drop faster.

I felt like I had to wait a moment for the clutch to meet before I could blipping or heel and toe.
The moment I wanted to connect, the rotation speed dropped
Feel free to engage the clutch
You can shift gears easily.

Torque can now be felt even at low RPMs.

Improved response to throttle action when shifting gears

It was a bold choice, but it was a great one.
It's now much easier to ride

Next is the braking system. Not pads, not calipers.
I'm thinking of changing it to a master back brace and brake tube.
