From your other comment about working with them for a more street friendly clutch, are you guys going to release that new clutch under RMW then? Or will it be marketted under OS as well?

I am looking to upgrade my clutch and flywheel in the future. Personally, I just need something street friendly and would also be great for occasion track days of lapping! Something like an Exedy Stage 1 Clutch with Lightened Flywheel is what I am looking for. Would you say the OS Giken clutches are all much? What are the prices of the 2 clutches anyways? I only see one and it's around $1600USD, what about the other one?

The perfect setup would be a clutchmasters clutch rated for 350 tq and a os giken diff.

James,
That GT28 car you heard was not the OS clutch making the noise. That car has been rode hard in it's life. My guess is that was piston slap you were hearing.

Yeah our friend told me that the clubmans engines days are numbered. Scotty's gt28 project only made noise when the clutch pedal was depressed.

Today? What was today? I've long since missplaced your number and my PM's are restricted on here so I can't go back and get it.
