yes agreed. i test drove a 94 that the owner went cheap and put in a used single mass flywheel. had that god awful chatter in the lower rpms when cruising. that, and had a few other things that turned me off from the car.

My single mass flywheel made terrible noise up to 2300 rpm, then it would go away as teh RPM'S got higher...


Then I made one simple adjustment that eliminated the noise 100%


I bought a TKO 600

Deciding what to put behind my new engine.
I'd like to lighten it up, but I really don't want it sounding like a box of rocks

BTW here's what the flywheel looks like inside, it actually has springs
