A good ballpark rule of thumb I've always used (although less applicable as the dollar implodes) is = 1 us dollar = 100 yen, 1000 yen = 10 dollars, 10000 yen = 100 dollars, etc..

Cusco does have a USA wholesale branch that works with their own US based pricelist. Please refrain from assuming estimates based off of yen are final. I've been following this clutch for a while and its already been released in Japan for a while, we're just waiting for Cusco USA to get the first few in stock before we start promoting them. Also awaiting Cusco's finalized USA pricing. Keep checking the vendor threads for a special offer from us here at Bulletproof Automotive once the clutch arrives!

I thought the dual clutches were breaking the evo x clutch cylinder or something like that.

Sweet! Another JDM company rebranding EXEDY clutches. Yipee!

You can always buy direct from the manufacturer as EXEDY already has these available for sale.

There's a thread with extreboost trying to get some people to sign up for them so he can make a first batch there like 250 or 350 i think

Well i can tell you a few things that should be easy to fix. The seat airbags should be a simple resistor from Radio Shack, i say meassure the ohms at the seat and put the same on the harness(do at your own risk ) I am not and electrician but common sense is what is telling me this should work. There's a vendor that does pills for the steering wheel, im sure they have/would make the seat airbag. Rene@m1autosport.com has a wheel airbag fix hit him up.


The cell is also easy spark plug fouler, found yesterday a vendor has a 90 degree spark plug fouler looking thing, should do the trick.
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=370375 check the 4th post.

The ASC, well your on your own buddy.

P.S. Still got that Titan, pm me what you are looking for it.

Do you actually know a case when this happened? The dual clutches are only recently released.
