Saw these on ebay, a fmic kit inc all tubes and hoses and 5 paddle clutch, i'm on a bit of a budget so these have been cheapest i can find so far so wondered if anyone got any ideas about them or has bought them and t&t them, all opinions welcome as dont wanna waste £500, or if anyone knows of anywhere i can find a clutch that can handle 320bhp happily an aint gonna kill by budget, cheers people, here are the links.

I have bought that same intercooler-fitting it on saturday hopefully so will let you know how it goes. First impressions are that it looks a quality bit of kit, but as they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating

You will have to cut those FMIC pipes up and start from scratch in order for you to fit that FMIC up to your Coupe,not a bad price though.

I dont see a release bearing in the clutch picture so worth checking if its included or a price from an alternate source.

agreed, a friend of mine used one in his Skyline and it could not even cope with standard power

The clutch seller has only 39 feedback. That clutch seems too good to be true, I mean for the price you can't even buy a tried and tested Helix organic.

They are quoting 305nm, which is 225lb/ft, barely more than the standard car makes. If you are looking for over 300bhp, then you'll have over 300lb/ft, which would eat that clutch in no time. You'd probably have more luck with a £130 LUK clutch.
