AFAIK, there is no commercially available light weight flywheel made for the D15A3. But you are not completely out of luck:

It is possible to use an aluminum flywheel from the D16A1, but you will ned to do some modifications to make it work.

You could use the HF flywheel, it is lighter. But you will need to use the HF starter motor with it.

Or your local machine shop could lighten and balance your stock flywheel.

Why the HF starter motor?

Going to Hawaii? You need a Dune Buggy.

I sell AASCO aluminum flywheels. They have applications for the D15A3 and the D16A1.....either one weighs 7 lbs and has a replaceable steel face.

I'd be very interested but didn't see anything listed for the EW/D15A series engines. Send me an email if you have something.

Can you use a Si clutch and pressure plate on a HF flywheel.
How much does the HF flywheel weight?

good question. I know that you can use a si clutch on a DX. I did it last week.

The guys running ITC use the hf flywheel with a wagon clutch and preasure plate. Atleast the ones I have talked to.
There's people that dont know and people that don't know they don't KNOW!!

The Si clutch is the same as the DX clutch. This HF flywheel may be a good cheap upgrade, I'm getting one!
I just wonder how much it weights

About three pounds less. At least that's how much less the 1.3 flywheel I have is from a standard flywheel. About 15lbs.

I believe they are the same as the HF's, can't say for sure.

And the two ring gears, 1.3 and 1.5, are identical both in diameter and gear mesh.

If you love the Elise, drive a Se7en - Caterham or whatever...
It has even less content than the Elise, is less graceful looking
...and changes direction like a ping pong ball whacked by Thor.
