Rang my local stealer for an idea on price £196 for an exchange unit, MiniMania is £116!
Will probs get Forsters or Robert Shaw to fit... Forsters are £55 per hour (apparently) although i'm going over tomorrow for a price! Going to talk to them about lightweight flywheels too!

Must be like my Civic Type-R that useto drink it too! The idle usually becomes a bit more rough and so a small increase in idle speed is required. I did say usually though and all the flywheels seem to be different weights.
