Numerous people are reporting that their aftermarket clutches arent holding with the higher HP cars. I want a street driveable clutch that will hold a lot of power. Usually this means you have to go with a puck to withstand all of that tq, but HPF is gonna put something together that has a full face and will be able to withstand various stages of power.

Don't disrespect the squirrel!

You are taking this way too seriously. We're only pulling your chain, but your reaction makes it worth it.

HPF's current development cycle with the n54 makes it unlikely that I will even recommend them make products until I see progress with their current products. A clutch solution would be nice, but I'm sure others will have solutions before 2014 when there clutch finally debuts
LOL, how do you know Im from richmond! I changed my location. Im not taking it seriously. I just like to argue, I like to argue about anything. There is no right or wrong, only measuring one's depth of knowledge on the subject...its kinda fun actually. I can assure you that we will see a clutch in the near future. The parts are already manufactured, HPF just needs to make on specifically for the gobs of tq the n54 puts down.


On a side note....Just sent payment for my HPF exhaust!!! Cant wait to see that baby in the mail.

Explain...Did your engineering degree also tell you that the more the bends in the pipe the lower the flow rate? Did it also tell you that mufflers create a disruption of airflow as well?
Where did I say anything about bends or mufflers not causing a disruption in airflow?

Or are you saying that bends and mufflers don't disrupt airflow?

Looks good, I cant wait to get the m3 front bumper. Do you think you get more airflow to the fmic with the aero lip?
