The Mazda RX-8 Flywheel equalizes the rotary engine by storing rotational energy, which provides drivers with smoother bursts of power and a more constant idle. The disc is clamped to the crankshaft, and the inertia of the disc balances the pulses peculiar to RENESIS combustion, while its toothed ring gear allows the starter to spin the motor immediately. After releasing the clutch pedal, the friction face clutches, and the transmission receives constant torque without much shaking. There are two factory options, a solid single-mass which is brute-strong and a quieter dual-mass that places the spring dampers between the inner and outer plates to dampen the twist. Both of these units work with all Mazda RX-8 models of 2003 up to 2012, and so hobbyists do not need to search for special adapters to restore performance. All Mazda models have been designed to fit within a very tolerant range, which implies that a new unit will soon regain factory smoothness, safeguard fragile gearbox bearings, and reduce lash in the drive. Efficiency gains also occur, since a healthy Flywheel provides momentum between power strokes, which reduces throttle openings on cruise and fuel squandered on traffic ebbs and flows. The improvements in safety transpire, as even delivery of torque is helpful to keep the tires stationary when leaving the wet corners or entering the busy highways. Heat cracks, deep grooves, or chipped ring teeth are visual indicators that the part will need replacement, and fitting a genuine Mazda part eliminates unexpected starter slip or clutch rattle, which may develop into costly damage. The springs that cannot be resurfaced are dual-mass, and thus, when they get worn, changing the whole assembly is necessary, which ensures that the comfort of the ride remains intact over time and also that the repairs are minimal. Appreciated in the RX-8 community, this Flywheel is renowned for its ability to combine durability with tastefulness, which solidifies its status as the backbone of the legend that the car is.
