Anybody know about aluminum flywheels?
I'm considering having a custom aluminum flywheel made. Does anybody know what the size/strength requirements are? It shouldn't be too expensive conisdering I won't need the gear/teeth.

Here are a few links (not honda related).

I heard of something awesome: composite driveshafts.

Composite drive shafts only weigh 5 pounds!!

Does anybody know where to get them?

Composite drive shafts are not new, they have been around for a few years. I have only seen them made for RWD cars they work well in drag cars cause they absorb some of the starting line "shock" in very high hp cars. I dont know if anyone makes them for a FWD setup, or if you would notice any difference in a 60 hp honda.
