Default Group buy on high performance RPS clutch?

I'm setting up a group buy for the high performance RPS clutch. If you guys don't know RPS, they are the leading company for Supras, RX-7's, and 3000GT's. They are designing the clutch for our Z33. It's still in the works though, but it'll be done very soon. I want to know who's interested cuz it'll be a lot cheaper w/ group buy. I don't know how much it costs right now cuz they are still designing it. I would probably need about 10 people. I'll post the status on it as soon as i find out.

I have the JUN lightweight flywheel to go with the RPS clutch. It should be a pretty good mod. My setups are to prep my car for the twin turbos when it comes out. I'll be ordering the Borla exhaust system soon. BTW does anyone know how big the piping are for the Borla? How much did you guys them for? and where?

RPS Turbo Clutch are one of the best clutch I have tried on my last car. It held my Turbo Integra 350hp~ to the wheels no problem and it's not stiff at all. Very streetable. Good to hear that they are available to the Z market.

Exedy comes in one piece. You can only get the Exedy clutch with the their flywheel. nothing else. THe difference is that Exedy is using steel flywheel whereas JUN is forged aluminum. Plus, it weighs only 14lbs. Besides when the RPS clutch is done it'll be able to withstand more horses and torque than the Exedy (so I hope). The Exedy can hold up to 500hp.
