we aim to please :)

Surprisingly I get that a lot haha.

Good review, Raul, thanks. You know I've gone down this path and I agree with everything you said... different mfgr, but same story... big improvement over stock in terms of feel... for really fast gear changes there is also a real benefit to the rapid accel/decel

Thanks Travis! How heavy is your clutch btw?

actually, not heavy at all... jwt

I mean as in pedal feel.

I got that... that's what what I meant... to me, the firmness / feel of the pedal with the JWT clutch is largely consistent with OEM... it sounds like yours turned out stiffer... you can take mine for a spin someday if we ever end up at the same track and judge for yourself

That would be fun. Thanks for the info Travis. Yeah a little stiffer, but still perfectly daily drivable.

after driving raul's car that is the clutch that will be going in mine, the prussure is perfect, quailty is good

Awesome, you know something. I don't know if I got used to it or something, but it feels like it has settled in a bit and the pedal effort is perfect now. Overall I'm pretty happy with the purchase and would recommend it. I would like to see how it behaves with another 150whp, I think it will be perfect.

Damn where's the supercharger!! I want a ride haha >.>

Did you use the stock CSC with the bearing or the new all metal designed CSC?

stock csc, unfortunately, I heard it fails even after the fix. Seals cant handle it eh... Man... I really hope I dont have to get back into the clutch...

I think you should be OK. Seals on the CSC only failed on high clamp rated pressure plate. The Southbend pressure plate isn't one of them but it is stronger than a stock one.

That being said ....... only time will tell. I'm going to wait for the metal CSC to be released just for the reason of the extra strength in the construction. From what I've seen in the pictures, it has great potential.

As you said, time will tell. As of right now the clutch feels perfect and considering its aggressive, it is very smooth and the stiffness has eased up a lot. I'm curious to find a stock 370z to push the clutch on to see just how much of a difference there is now since I've probably forgotten what stock feels like already.

do you feel that the new clutch grabs more efficiently?

If by that you mean whether the feeling of on/off is more clear then absolutely.

Hey everyone,

So a while back I talked about how I was developing carbon stuff with a local company and that it was put on hold for a while because they were developing BMW 1 series stuff. Just wanted to give everyone a reason to wait for them to do the 370z..

They just recently released a full replacement trunk for the 1 series and are about to release a hood. Check out the quality and just how damn good this looks.

I talked to them about doing a full spoiler in carbon that would be one piece, but would look like the stock sports package spoiler with the mine's add-on. It would lip up sort of like their trunk does, except it would be a separate piece.

What do you guys think?

We'll be making a lot more than just a spoiler :) They will become vendors once we start working on the 370z.
EDIT: I dug up a little more on the other stuff they did for the 1 series so far and found some pictures for you guys

Seems like they had some issues shipping stuff on time in the past, but are have now learned their lesson and will not advertise anything they don't have in stock and ready to go. I guess these things happen to young companies.

Wow, that looks beautiful.

dang RCZ, it def does look beautiful. I was about to jump on-board with the Mines cf group buy, but if your suggesting a whole one piece spoiler then idk I might have to wait. What about the diffuser/any interior pieces in CF?

Same here..

...oh and was the CF stuff for the BMW reasonably priced, trying to get an idea on how things will be priced for the 370Z. The diffuser is what im really interested in, and as long as it actually fits and is not like that EVO-R garbage(poor fitment), then im all in :tup:

+1

Yes and Yes.

I'll get them to come down as much as possible. As far as fitment, they are making parts for BMW's and if I'm not mistaken, the new factory they are using is in Germany. That makes things more expensive, but the quality is up there with the best.

When I talked to them originally, they said they would sell parts for reasonable prices and I will hold them to it.

I'm gonna start getting on their case about it and see how soon we can get some prototypes.

One thing I'd like to be clear about is that I am not affiliated with this company in any way. They are local to me and I can help them develop something for the 370z community. I will keep you guys updated, but I cannot guarantee anything!

Damn RCZ, I am super :excited: to see what they come up with. I am ready to buy & from you this time, lol ;)

Yeah, I'm gonna make 100000% sure before they sell you anything that its flawless considering all the grief you've given Stillen about their roof wing fitment.

lol, You have no idea, I really appreciate the quality check, something "they" didnt seem to do. I have a sick idea that you should suggest to the ICarbon guys, "Carbon Fiber Steering wheel" :cool:

Hmm, no that wouldn't be viable. A while back, I made a little focus group with some members of the board and we discussed a lot of possibilities for aesthetically pleasing/ functional aero bits. Needless to say they will draw a lot from there...

^ wonder how much they could charge for a partial CF steering wheel, so there's a price comparison to be made against JDMrapage wheels...

looks like quality stuff there, i'd love to see some nice interior trim in CF :tup:

after all the functional aero bits of course, y'all can have your fun first.

make a cf hood cuz the only company I know is seibon. Vis is coming out with one in a couple months but it will almost identical to the quality of seibon cuz they are basically the same company. Make a hood and Ill buy right now =]!

They sent me prototype pics of their hood in dry carbon and I flipped... Can't show you guys though. They will release it soon.

+rep if you pm me :eekdance:

This kills me. What kind of time period are we looking at for these products?

I remember, I was apart of that focus group :tup: I can't wait to see what spoiler they come up with, as well as the diffuser. :excited:

I do love me a duckbill spoiler..

I got myself a wing :) should be here this friday.

Are you going to share which one or do we have to wait? :excited:

dreamer, its unbelievable how fast you are.

yes he's fast.

now you gonna spill the beans or what?! :rofl2:

:p
Doing networking & security work gives me time to mess around online for parts of my day, which is suppose to be "research."

I really wanna see the wing while the mines group buy is going on, if yours looks better, I'll just go with yours. If not i'll go with the mines CF add-on. PM me a picture if you could, thanks RCZ
