that can happen free-revving, I've got pics of a honda where parts of the flywheel ended up embedded in the workshop roof.

That's also one reason why you dont lighten a stock cast flywheel, and if you HAVE to lighten it, run a scatter shield to protect your ankles/passenger etc depending on your drivetrain orientation.

That would have to be one nugget scatter shield, which would prob offset the advantages of making the stock flywheel lighter.

I've seen it happen before at the NZ Nats...

Mazda RX3 in the burnout comp revving at around 11,000rpm and all of a sudden BANG... Flywheel comes out of the bonnet and around 50 feet into the air...

Left a hole in the bonnet shaped as such:

Was pretty crazy to see...

Got me thinking about if if happened in a FWD, guess if it happened at the right angle, it could smash through the bellhousing, firewall and into the cabin with enough force... Pretty dangerous when you think about it...
