    First of all some information about this group buy. Im currently working out some things with the seller, He has told me that for a large quantity he needs wire transfer as payment. I have requested that we can use pay pal instead as if we use wire transfer ( like western union ) we will get slugged massive fees and the discount of the group buy would be pointless. So the first thing im waiting for is weather he will take pay pal instead, less fee's and we are protected at the same time.

    Second thing im working out is the shipping costs, and weather we can have a mixed order or kits with flywheel's, without flywheels and n/a and tt combos, If we cannot have a mixed buy then we will go for a group buy with the Stage 4 clutch kit for twin turbo without flywheel.

    As far as i know these kits are made in japan, but shipped from the US. I have requested more information but so far ive found that on alot of forums these clutch kits are way better than the XTR XTD and ACT Brands. The main reason im going for one of these clutches is obviously the price, I can see how its a bit risky using a 300$ clutch that claims to be the equivalent in terms of power ratings and quality compared to xtreme or exedy, But for 300$, cant really go wrong.

    So far this is the information that i have.

    F1 Racing Lightweight Chromoly Flywheels are made from 4140 one-piece billet chromoly steel. They are specifically designed to reduce weight and inertia for better engine response. Most incorporate special design features to enhance the air flow to improve the cooling of the clutch. The ring gear teeth are milled onto the flywheel unlike an aluminum flywheel where the ring gear is pressed onto the flywheel which has the possibility of separating from the flywheel. All F1 Racing Chromoly flywheels have passed engineering tests to 12,000 rpm.

    * Ultra heavy-duty and weighs only 14.8 lbs
    * Meets or exceeds SFI 1.1 specification
    * Made from 4140 forged chromoly steel (2X stronger than billet steel)
    * F1 Racing Lightweight Chromoly flywheels incorporate special design features to enhance the airflow for improved clutch cooling
    * F1 Racing Lightweight Chromoly flywheels work with every clutch including Exedy, ACT, Fidanza, Clutchmasters, and other OEM clutch kits
    * CAD designed, CNC machined and computer balanced

    Some questions...

    When will this go ahead?

    Whats the minimum needed for the discount?

    I'm a tentative yes, just cant swing this right now, but definitely in for Jan, early next year, and not sure but Arvin (pennysarvs) I recall was interested in getting a new clutch soon, though not sure if hes picked one up yet.

    So theres a definite one (just not right now) and a possible two. Both TT clutches by the way.

    Unless you have a high hp tt, I would get a stage 3, or if you have a stock-ish (IC's, zorst, increased boost) I would get a stage 2.

    I currently run a stage 4 in my TT and it's very bitey and until you get the hang of it, very shuddery.

    Cara runs a stage 2 without clutch booster in her mild TT and she loves it. Very easy to drive and holds the power well.

    I have the stage 2 and it's brilliant

    Hope this is not too off topic because this GB is for stage 4.

    Firstly, I've have a F1 branded clutch kit in my stock zed and it's brilliant. I have the stage 2 for an every day driver with slight mods and the clutch feel and takeup is brilliant. I took my Zed to powercriuise in Jan this year (1000k's after breaking in the clutch). I gave the clutch a hiding all day and it performed superbly. It is still holding strong today.

    I can recommend this clutch brand.
    Cheers, Pete

    thought there'd be much more interest in these... So cheap, and so good. Compare to many hundreds when buying something locally...

    Yea I just realized the Stage 4 is a 6 puck... I'm after a Heavy Duty Full Face Organic type, the equivalent to the Exedy Heavy Duty one I have in the Zed now. Which Stage is that? 2 or 3?

    Either way, thats the type I'm interested in. I had more then my fill of 6 puck clutches, will never do that again... Not unless I'm running a ridiculous amount of power.

    Hey guys sorry i didn't reply i didn't even notice this got approved. Things to note.

    Minimum order for the discount is 5.

    Mixed orders should be fine, like two stage 3s and three Stage 4s.

    Kit for other cars may be ok as well, just post in the format like below and when we have 5 i will email him again to get a more accurate price.

    Seller has agreed to let us use paypal, I have a verified paypal that ive used on my ebay account and i have a 100+ star rating with it. So if its ok with everyone payments will go either all to me so i can make a bulk payment or i can ask the seller if we can all make separate payments directly to him if people are a bit hesitant.

    So that i can get a proper list can people interested please post in a format below.

    Example -

    1.Vizard - TT Stage 3, No Fly
    2.
    3.
    4.

    Stage 2 kit is around 175$ aud without shipping and without discount, around 150 with discount, adding around 100 for shipping without a flywheel.

    to the others interested, i would suggest not getting the flywheel as shipping goes from around 100$ to around 180$.

    I'm running a stage 3 in there at the moment also matey they are very shuddery till you get the hang of it also, dont think there would be much difference between the stage 3 and 4 drivability wise, they are both 6 puck
