Me: Hi Mr. Exedy, I need a temporary clutch for my R32 gtst with rb25 motor an box with a gear set, what can you do for me in terms of products that will last as a temporary fix, but wont cost the world.
Mr. Exedy: What clutch came out of it? What are you using the car for during the temporary period? What power is it making?
Me: It’s my daily currenty, I pulled an OS twin plate out of it to get it rebuilt, makes about 490rwhp but I’ve been keeping the boost down to around 10psi as the clutch was slipping.
Mr. Exedy: Well how much you want to spend?
Me: Not much.
Mr: Exedy: We have a basic single plate that should hold up for a while that’s around $370 and we can send it over to the workshop today.
Me: Sounds good.
------------------------------------------
about 2-3 days later the clutch pulled it's self apart on my way home from a mates house. I had to tow the car home, then tow it to the work shop, pay to have the clutch sent to Exedy to be "looked at".
They wouldn’t have a bar of it, wouldn’t give me another one, wouldn’t pay for the tow truck, and just didn’t wont to know about it. They’re phone monkey gave me the wrong advise, I told him how much power the car had and wanted something as a quick fix, not 2-3days quick. Tell me about clutchs for my power, not sell me a friggin $370 clutch "that should hold up". Your business is clutch's, me the client is going to take your word.
It wasn’t worth going to small claims court, so I just rubbish them on the intraweb
