With most Austin Healey Sprites currently resting in garages waiting for the spring, it’s a great time to start working on them, and one improvement would be changing to a Fidanza Aluminium Flywheel.

A Fidanza lightweight flywheel is simple to install when the clutch is replaced and will bring the following benefits:

  • Faster throttle response and quicker acceleration
    • Additional horsepower to the wheels (reduced parasitic losses)
    • Smoother, faster shifting
    • Easier braking, better slowing (due to reduced rotational mass)
    • Reduced clutch wear and improved efficiency (from better heat dissipation)
    • Cost savings and longevity (thanks to Fidanza’s replaceable green friction plate – there is no need to replace the entire flywheel when worn)
    • Potential for increased fuel economy (if you can keep your foot off the gas!)
    • Quality and reliability (made in the USA from top-grade materials)

A Fidanza lightweight flywheel for the 1961-63 Austin Healey Sprite can be ordered as part number 126481 and retails at USD $331.61 plus shipping and tax.
