bump for the nice clutch

for those that don't know, his reference of "specialist" is to "jappartsspecialist" on ebay who is a big daddy of jdm parts

And you care that I care because???

I care because I'm tempted to buy his products but if he's a d1ck like that then you can only guess what type of customer service you'll get if something goes wrong with the order (item is defective or it never arrives). You can tell alot by a seller's comments both in the ad and in feedback. Anyone who has smug, unprofessional comments will most assuridly blame and/or berate the buyer if any problems arise.

right, circular argument, sorry I won't be playing with you

you obviously don't know much about ebay if that's the conclusion you have for the seller

Yes, definately a potential circular arguement but since you've yet to post a thought-out point of view I can assume you dont have one or are too lazy to think of one. But....intead of leaving it at that.......I hear that I probably dont understand ebay. Care to expand on that comment as well? I've been on there for 5+ years and have gotten burned a few times.....have you? I've learned to get a feel for who to deal with and who not to. It actually makes me feel good to NOT buy stuff from a$$........more CA parts for you. Bottom line.

guy stands on quite a soapbox there don't he? That is a nice flywheel, Toda doesn't give you the bolts, they tell you to grind donw the stock ones. I learned that the hardway, stripped out the boltholes in the crank That thing is really light though, the car would bog off the launch badly but once it got moving the motor should wind up like a Gixxer!

how long have you had the flywheel on there? just since the rebuild? and how bad is the bog, like can't move the car, slip to 3k rpm to start bog?

alot of cars have lighter flywheels than ours and are 1.8, granted most are NA w/ higher CR..

With my Toda it wa s aproblem on combat launches, as soon as the tires caught traction RPMs would drop like 1500 RPM. normal driving was tollerable after you got used to slipping the clutch a little off the light. I had a DE though, a DET with a twitchy turbo should just be coming on some boost at the crucial moment when the tires hooked.

I've only had it on there since the rebuild. Since I don't have the SDS tuned yet, I'm not quite sure. I had it running with the stock ECU, but from what I can tell so far, it's harder to get moving from a stop, but by no means impossible. You've just got to let it slip a little more. I havent' gotten it running well enough to see how it does in a racing type launch.

I refuse to support that prick myself. There has been several parts of his that I have passed over because of his attitude.
