I will let you know how to do it.

currently in the process of checking stock, to make sure i can get enough for everyone.

also if you need prices for any other ACT parts list them here too, i can get prices.

kenzo42 12-09-2008 03:58 AM

So if we get a shitload of MT members and M.net members, can he discount even further? I thought it would at least be worth asking.

olderguy 12-09-2008 08:27 AM

Put me in for a Prolite 600255 flywheel, please. Already have a clutch on the way:)

BenR 12-09-2008 10:17 AM

+1. We should start this group buy after Christmas. And we should post it on M.net CR.net and all other miata forum if we can get further discount on it like Kenzo said.

RotorNutFD3S 12-09-2008 12:48 PM

I will post it as a sticky on the local forum at MX5Atlanta.com when the time comes. :) Either now or whenever.

But I'm ready to pay for mine whenever it's time.

never tried the XTG6, but the XTSS feels good. the clutch is fairly stiff and engagement is very strong.

flier129 12-09-2008 04:42 PM

eh, change mine to the xtg6. my leg is sure guna get a good workout ;)

Hi Im Simon 12-09-2008 04:44 PM

LOL you'll have a buff left leg!

RotorNutFD3S 12-09-2008 04:52 PM

Geez, prepping the transmission for some high power are we? lol

definately, i did play soccer back in the day but even still haha, want that clutch to GRAB grrr


ill order my setup once we hopefully get 10+ ppl in on it :)

akaryrye 12-10-2008 01:11 AM

Comon guys, get in on this so we can get the 10+ order price, I think myself along with the others on the list can wait a week or two to get the lower price.

kenzo42 12-10-2008 01:46 AM

I can wait till after xmas, if you guys can...?

akaryrye 12-10-2008 02:34 AM

Personally, i don't give a rats ass as long as i can get it before spring break, because i wont have time until then.

swimming108 12-11-2008 01:50 AM

interested in the ZM2-XTSS. what is the weight on that flywheel before i confirm? Oops, just saw 10.4 # in linked thread.

PMd

kenzo42 12-11-2008 03:48 AM

Simon, can I pick up in City of Industry or around Pasadena on the weekend?

Hi Im Simon 12-11-2008 03:57 AM

yeah of course, saves me the trouble of shipping them. LOL

kenzo42 12-11-2008 04:06 AM

Where's your location, Simon? City of Industry or is that where your friend is located?

Hi Im Simon 12-11-2008 07:21 AM

the dealer is located in City of Industry. I am in Temple city, which is South of Pasadena, whatever you want to do it's really no trouble for me. I'm not sure if you guys know where the Clubroadster KINOD thing is, I'm always around that area as well.

hustler 12-11-2008 08:56 AM

in if my spec clutch can't cut the mustard.

akaryrye 12-11-2008 10:47 AM

k, but you gotta let me know which clutch you want so i can put you on the list

RotorNutFD3S 12-11-2008 11:23 AM

You can take me off the list. I already ordered my disc my from Simon's vendor. Thanks!

akaryrye 12-18-2008 06:52 PM

Bump, Im getting impatient ... comon peeps buy yourself a clutch through the GB

Hi Im Simon 12-19-2008 01:28 AM

i think some people are waiting till after X-MAS.

akaryrye 12-19-2008 02:40 AM

I think you are right, i wonder if there are any people who are waiting to sign up until after christmas. Its just that I would rather buy it now than later if there aren't going to be 10+ people anyway

Hi Im Simon 12-19-2008 03:10 AM

eh... oh well.

any requests on what item for group buy next?
i was thinking koyo radiators? 53mm and 36mm???

Dark Wanderer 12-20-2008 12:28 PM

Did you post it on other miata forums?

akaryrye 12-20-2008 12:41 PM

nah, theres like rules and stuff in the other forums

...

Ok i put ads up on clubroadster, hopefully it wont be detected as a group buy and deleted too quickly lol ... also put one up on sccaforums. Hopefully this stirs up some interest:

Hi Im Simon 12-22-2008 09:17 PM

haha awesome.

akaryrye 12-25-2008 11:48 PM

ya ... so ummm ... bump

Just a reminder for all of you on the fence, If you are only willing to pay the 10+ GB price and are reluctant to get in here because of that, don't let that hold you back. If we dont get 10 you can drop out and its no big deal.

james399 12-27-2008 09:35 PM

Not sure if this is still going on, but I'm in...

I've been reading so freaking much about clutches, I give up....

All be it pricey, these are the way to go, the only complaint about these that i have read is squeaking, but never about slipping...

so please put me down for the

zm2-xtss clutch
and
600255 flywheel

$670... ouch, but still a great deal...

i'm local and can come pick it up either late at night or during the weekend...

simon, i also pm'd you about this... in case the gb doesn't go through, i'd still like to pick these up locally...

thanks

Hi Im Simon 12-27-2008 10:49 PM

okay no problem. i guess give a bit more time for everyone's xmas recovery to see if this will fall thru or not.

btw, what squeaking noise? i only got chatter from the light flywheel, but nothing from the clutch.

UrbanSoot 12-28-2008 01:39 AM

im in for whatever clutch i need to hold 300+ tqe and flywheel.

Hi Im Simon 12-28-2008 02:25 AM

Good deal, only 2 more to go ... anyone who backs out gets a stern beating

Hi Im Simon 12-28-2008 03:40 AM

LOL, if you want to enforce that go for it.

james399 12-28-2008 03:51 AM

if you read the million or so threads about clutches here... (i was using the oh-so-lovely search feature... lol...)

in summary, all the clutches out there have good and bad, it seems that at some point someone somewhere got a defective clutch from every single brand... the cheaper brands the problems with qc seem more common...

but as someone noted, go with a name brand, and you get better qc, and better customer service, in case you do get some defective piece, a better chance at getting your money back or your parts replaced...

as for the cons with the act:

the only 2 problems with the act clutch and prolite combination is the chatter (from the fly wheel as mentioned... ) and then some people had an issue with some squeaking from their clutch...
and the last complaint/problem with these is the ultra low engagement point, you have to put your foot to the floor to change gears apparently... but since i'm 6ft tall, thats what i have to do anyways... lol...

all that being said....

these are the only clutches where people really don't complain about slip... (with the proper 500 mile break in of course...)

so yeah.... 3-4 hours of reading, and thats the conclusion i came too...

flier129 12-28-2008 12:49 PM

simon, your guna hate me. i changed my mind again. i've been pondering on it ever since this group buy got going but now since its getting closer to the actual buy ill make my final decision!

going with the ZM2-HDG6 instead of the ZM2-XTG6. just let me know on the price so i can get it to you when we get the 10th buyer :)

james399 12-28-2008 01:23 PM

now lets try and get some more guys so we can get it even cheaper!!!!

lol...

Hi Im Simon 12-29-2008 02:21 AM

updated that price should be right for zm2-hdg6, but let me double check the price tomorrow to make sure.

paul 12-29-2008 02:21 PM

If this is still open I'm in for (1) ZM2-XTSS

akaryrye 12-29-2008 03:24 PM
