You ran them on your RD? What power were you putting down? I don't remember.

I'm glad you've been to their shop, but read my post again, I never said they spray painted anything, or that they didn't build them.

Some of you guys just can't read, and jump to conclusions.

As for Tibbytib's Tib, he broke his in, and he doesn't abuse his car, don't believe me, then go meet him yourself. He's the most meticulous Tib owner I've ever met, attention to detail is a way of life for him, and he knows what he's doing. He's the one with the Haltec mounted in his ECU housing for a plug and play ECU swap, running sequential injection, and the engine bay look immaculate.

If you guys want more info on Tibbytib's issues, PM him or ask him personally, as I can only state what he's told me, and the slippage I've felt in it myself.

Lastly, I didn't talk shit about Southbend, I talked shit about a shitty clutch they provided to one of our members here on RDTiburon.com.




I dont' know if you are talking to me or not, but I never said that Caj's is slipping, I'd have know way of knowing.



I never said they didn't make good clutches, I have no idea bout them and have never heard of one installed till Tibbytib got his and put it in. It ran fine, and he does NOT race his car or run it hard, but after turbocharging, at 190 WHP to the wheels, it started slipping REGULARLY. So, it's the first one I've ever heard of, ever known that was installed, and it's slipping. If there are others here with one in and it's fine, then they are free to post too. Clutches may not be rated in "WHP", but they did tell Tibbytib 270 WHP is what it would hold, so that was THEIR rating, not mine.



Never said they did, I just compared it with how folks said those XTD and Gripforce ones were great, then found out they were just rebranded OEM clutches.

I'm glad the install went well and he's got a new clutch, for stock power, a stock clutch is fine, I'm just paying attention to clutches as my car is on it's OEM clutch/flywheel at 86,000 miles, and it's going to be replaced soon.



HERE IS THE POST FROM TIBBYTIB ABOUT HIS PROBLEMS.

 

^^ I hate my Seco more then I hate my old Valeo!

I WAS enjoying my lunch before viewing those pictures.

 

Gee, my gripforce holds just fine 10+ pounds of boost and the car pulls like crazy, guess what, no slipping.

Hmmm... my perfectly good OEM clutch i took out slipped like crazy at 5 psi, what does that tell you, rattle-canned OEM my ass.

 

Well gee, looks like we've had a lot of positive experiences, including my own (the clutch is only getting better as it breaks in) and one negative.

Must be that south bend makes shoddy clutches.

You're an ass redzman, thans for clogging up a thread where I was pretty excited about this.

 

you mean caj couldnt do it? cant even bench it? aww man. nana.gif owned.gif by the trans. lol good job guys and hope everyhting goes well. if it wouldnt have been a 3 hour drive either way ida showed up but what you gonna do yla know. oh yea arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics, even if you win your still retarded.

 

haha, and I'm 145lbs to your, what, 2 somethin? tongue.gif

oh yeah, DTN, the flywheel looked a LOT better in person, just realized how it looked in the photo. doesn't look that way in person

 

Hmm, I can't ever remember having heard anyone NOT like the Gripforce series either.



...

A lot of positive experience? Where? Monoxidechild having it in 2 cars, that weren't boosted? I said your new clutch would probably be fine for stock power, but that's not what I was talking about, was it? So, one person, has used that same clutch, on 2 or 3 different stockish powered cars, and it didn't slip.

Must be able to hold 30000 HP.



I'm an ass? Because I came in here and informed folks that this clutch, the only one I'd ever heard of installed from this company, SUCKS? That makes me an ass eh? Lookin out for the members of this site? I'll remember that.

On that note, since I'm an ass, you can enjoy a vacation f***tard. Newbs get excited when they put their first neon bar on top of the sunroof, doesn't mean I'm going to say it's a good mod. I'll always call out shitty products, always have, always will, someone has to let folks know that it's not all sunshine being blown up their asses.

Thread closed. Tibbytib, I'll copy your post out and make a new thread of it if I can.

 

Stop arguing about the damn clutch. Some like it, others don't. There's plenty of input here so that's enough. Anything related to the install of the clutch can be posted, but nothing else regarding the type of clutch is necessary.

what a bunch of pansies, arguing over the quality of a clutch. I'm sure some are good, some are bad. It's fine to argue and discuss, but most of you seem to be unable to do so in the appropriate manner.

 

i have an update... my finger still looks exactly the same as it did in those pictures and it doesn't seem to be healing. mad.gif so yeah, that sucks..

majiktib, your a pansie. nana.gif

 

its "pansy" man.

I think the whole argument got out of hand because of misunderstanding from both sides. It happens in all families doesnt it? that includes the RDT family.
