This is a 964 RS flywheel genuine Porsche
 
Hi Johnny, do you have any idea how much lighter than the stock 996 FW this is. Is it also a straight swap with no other faff involved/ fits a stock clutch etc? Any pics? Any issues with removing the DMFW.
Sorry for all the questions.
Hope all is well mate ;)

How much lighter?
-Stock clutch/pressure plate/disc/flywheel - 46 lbs
LWFW and Sachs Pressure PLate - 19 lbs

Stock clutch will fit all you have to change is the nose on the gearbox so it goes in the new release bearing, 2 screws and cheap. TBH my car felt like it had another 70hp !!!!!

Sounds good mate, any further guidance on what you mean by this:

"change the nose on the gearbox so it goes in the new release bearing, 2 screws"
 
On the gearbox is a sleeve around the input shaft it inserts itself into the release bearing, when you fit a LWFW it moves everything away from the box a little so you need a longer sleeve to insert into the release bearing thats now in a slightly diff position. Its a cheap part and 2 mins to fit, I have the part number somewhere.
 
Hey Richie, i cant pm you back re the LWFW but you can mail me via the forum.
Ive fitted a triple carbon clutch which comes with its own flywheel, the flywheel is a straight bolt on and you can fit either a stock clutch or an 890nm cover with sprung plate or 890 unsprung plate, the gearbox nose is a small part direct from Porsche ( I will get part number) the LWFW is perfect, done around 5-6K miles there are no high spots and no vibrations when engaging clutch, as reagards noise I cant say with a normal sprung center plate as i ran the unsprung which is inherently noisey itself, it will be noisier than a DMFW by its very nature as that dampens the gearbox noise a bit.
 
Many thanks John, did you manage to find out what all these other bits are that I would need?
