Since my car's an automatic, do I still have a flywheel? If so, what is a recommended upgrade to replace my stock one? I'm interested because I want to drop the weight and hopefully increase my acceleration. Is there a noticable difference in the performance of stock and aftermarket flywheels. I'm just trying to learn as much as I can from you guys, so any information offered is greatly appreciated. thanks

yes you have a flywheel and its an 8-bolt get a alum flywhel this will decrease the amount of weight on your crank and allow it to turn faster which will cause it to rev a little quicker, so will a alum driveshaft
No you dont have a flywheel, but a FLEXPLATE.
Flywheels are only found in manual transmissions.
The difference is aFlywheel engages with the clutch, the flexplate doesnt ..only with the starter gear. So flexplates are already thin and light enough.
If you really wanna drop weight go to a tubular k member, tubular A arms, and coil over kit. Relocate the battery to the trunk. 750.00 and you are in like...well like whoever.

Waiting for install: PI intake.
You can drop much as 160 lbs. off the front end with K-member (tubular) tubular A arms, and coil over kit install. Relocating the battery is for distributing weight to the rear wheels.
Off subject a little I know but since weight was brought up thought I would drop my .02 in here.
okok, flywheel questions
