do you mean shave the flywheel to reduce weight? shaving the clutch(disc) would decrease the life and performance.

The flywheel on an MX-3 isn't that heavy, I mean you could Mill about 3-5lbs off of it if you wanted to, But it's possible that you could lose low end power, but it's up to you. Your best bet would to get a lightend flywheel from an aftermarket dealer or someone online, like nopi.

only do it if you have 20 or more horses and an engine snap like a race car [instant]. an engine without will only lose power if you lighten the flywheel.
