Sounds great AtomicDog! Remember everyone, we can get as many of these as we have commitments for, we just qualify for the discount once we reach the 10. I spoke with my vendor yesterday and said that we might need 15, so he's anticipating anything around that number. Anyone else that is sitting on the fence you still have until the end of the month to decide!

c'mon fensies, you can buy it now or you can buy it later - might as well buy it now and save some $$$ with the group buy! ;)

BB On the fence and need some parts. see pm. I am wondering when you say light flywheel what you mean? that single mass stock g60 is around 28lbs and the euro one is 14lbs with ring gear. I may be interested with a 14lbs unit... and yes I know they chatter but honestly I only hear it when I am not hammering on it... PS check pms

Sounds good guys! I don't see a PM from you Shortys, but you should have one from me :).
Looks like I'm ordering 15 or more--as soon as the flywheels come in the order goes in. As stated plan on having these by the 14th, but I might get these shipped to everyone as early as 1st week in July! Group buy ends when I put my order in...

15, Great news. Let's shake that fence & see if we can get a couple of more. BB; Great news on the possible early shipping.

Bob, with a MY 06.5, how the heck do you need a new clutch already? My '96 has nearly 180k miles and is still on the original one (albeit it slips now). You must have some serious power mods! :D

Well, not yet.

You see... I just happened across a "good deal" on a DRW 6 speed w/ LSD already installed which I could not resist. So... I needed a new clutch & flywheel to go along with that install. And well, this seemed like it might be a more interesting option, & thoghts of "as long as I am at it", "I might as well as", "it is only a little bit more", "I don't mind doing something once, I just hate to do it 2 or 3 times", "as long as I am blowing my warrenty", etc., etc.

Besides, when all this is installed & a few other things, I just may happen to run across Jeff R. @ gtg or when I am an heading to PA on other matters. And, you know how it goes. ;) Bob

Wait a sec--so you're putting this in a 6-speed? Did you tell me this when you gave me a call?

Agreed!

I'll bump this down while I'm at it...

Lol! I did think we'd get a lot more Canadian buyers--especially with me paying all the duty fees! Check out some of the Canadian experiences with clutch kits here. :). (See post #55 and #58)
Night everyone!

for the price you are offering, and the expected rise in price, this is a heck of a deal!

If what Bleachedbora said in his email is true, then they will be $850 in the BBBB list next week.

$649 now, which is $150 off--looking at a $799 price. :)

I guess this is a bit late in coming, but more than one of you wanted a bit more to read on this. Here's some other info I was able to dig up...
-See the second post here.
-This guy is 330 hp with the kit.
-These guys want $965+shipping for the same kit (with a lightened flywheel, which is cheaper anyway)!

I found a few others that are running the setup, but forum wise we're mostly charting new ground here. I'm trusting what I have heard, as are all of you. Even at the $799 shipped with tranny bolts price it's still going to be a bargain...My order goes in at 2PM Pacific time tomorrow, once that goes through the group buy is over.
Night,
-BB
