Calling FredCourtot? What's the latest on the Dinan flywheel?

Fred,

Maybe I missed it?.. but what is the latest scoop on the Dinan aluminum flywheel? Did Dinan ever get it straight? I remember you were having idling problems and also felt that the car did not seem to have as much torque? at least in perception anyway?

An update on this would be appreciated.

TIA!

Hey there,

They are working on the kinks as we speak. Some other cars had problems too which were a little different then mine. From what they gather, the flywheel maybe to light. I wouldn't count on having production parts until 1 month.

Any new info on the flywheel? I'm thinking of getting it once it starts production again.
