A lightweight flywheel doesn't make the car go faster because it doesn't increase the power output and the weight that it saves is irrelevant. What it does is that it improves throttle response which means that it makes the engine rev quicker, and it makes the car feel faster.

Suzuki lt160 1990 the starter is just free spinning it is not turning the motor over what do you do?
sounds like the ring gear or flywheel is worn if you have a manual or stick shift put it in 2nd gear depress clutch let car roll a little release clutch (the engine will turn slightly) then try starting engine. with auto transmission you will have to turn engine over with socket and ratchet bar (if you cant turn over at the drive belt by hand) if this starts your car the flywheel will need replacing... Could also be the bendix ... the solenoid that engages the starter motor to the flywheel.
Why would a car fail to start if the battery is in working order?
There can be several problems if a car will not start. Does the motor turn over? That means, does the starter engage the flywheel and turn the crankshaft. It is the normal sound you hear when you first turn the key to start the car. If that isn't happening, you would look at the starter first. Make sure it is engaging the flywheel and trying to turn. Sometimes a battery with low voltage will get the starter to engage, but not enough to turn the flywheel. If the starter is good, but the flywheel does not turn, the crankshaft might be bound up. This is usually due to a bad motor. If the crankshaft turns, and it just cranks and cranks, then it's either fuel or spark. Check to make sure you have gas in the car. The fuel pump can be bad, or a fuel filter. If that's good, you have to check the spark plugs and distributor and/or coils. That is a bit tricky for a novice so it's best to have a mechanic look at it. Unless your willing to brave 40,000 volts.

What are aftermarket car parts?
Aftermarket auto parts are the parts that don't come as part of the car when you purchase it and are installed later to either improve the performance of the car or its looks or both. Aftermarket car parts are made by a company other than the manufacturer of the car. Parts made by the manufacturer of the car are known as Original Equipment Manufacturer or OEM parts. The aftermarket auto parts business has become heavily competitive and many dealers and suppliers offer parts for cars of almost all makes and models. Aftermarket parts usually cost less than the OEM parts.
