drilled and slotted flywheel??

The holes and slots are a bit of a gimmick but if it's actually CroMo it's damn cheap for a 13lbs steel flywheel!
I'd imagine that it would be subject to the same laws that govern our other favorite radial friction-makers, the brakes; which leads me to believe that the slotting might be beneficial. But crossdrilled is never a good idea, from what I understand...wears out friction surfaces in a heartbeat and can build up some serious heat if one were to use the wrong friction material for the clutch face.
Hmmm... Thought Evolution Industries held a patent on slotted flywheels.
Also, that's slotted and dimpled, not crossdrilled. That flywheel has been around for a while (just wasn't slotted/dimpled), and previously was advertised as SFI approved (though we doubted it was on the forums).

Holes and slots in brake rotors are designed to allow gas to escape, not an issue in a clutch so only a gimmick, still dirt cheap if it's CroMo.
im gonna bite and grab one, then ill see if its reall what it says. if its junk it will make a cool looking wall clock.

Much less chance of a one piece steel flywheel failing than either a lightened Cast iron or 2 piece Aluminium one....
