Looks like the one on the right, only about 1 Kg lighter than stock though

I thought the whole point about balancing was that it was done in line with things like flywheel and clutch connected

Machining was £200 inc initial balancing

Yep it has to go back with the front pulley, flywheel, clutch etc. for final balancing as a unit, just waiting for my ally flywheel to arrive from Cees and it will be going back to be finished off.

Ok, enlighten us! How are you going to buzz an engine to 10K.
Unless you want a peculiar stroke. I can't see why you want to spend that kind of money on a component like that. You would be better off sinking into the top end!
Besides billets are not necessarily even as strong as a forged component due to the grain structure!

thanks mark .if i'm right racing quattros used standard cranks .

1 Kg makes a big difference when the engine is accelerating, basically it means that more of the power produced will be available to accelerate the car as opposed to the crankshaft itself
