Tester wanted for RPS Billet Carbon Clutch!

Hi guys, RPS is looking for a SoCal Evo X GSR owner to try out their new Billet Carbon Single Plate Clutch or Twin Plate.

For any of those interested you will get a smoking deal on the clutch and labor.
If you have any questions whatsoever please feel free to contact me.

PM me e-mail me for any more info:

It's common in the industry to give to the "tester"any part(s) you're using their vehicle to test with. You're using their car, there's definitely risk involved to the owner, and they're gonna spend a lot of their own time driving their car up to you, and waiting around for you to install the piece(s).
Owning a motorcycle dealership, I get asked frequently to let vendors use a bike/quad etc.. to check fitment or compatibility of parts. They know the risk and time involved for me to lend them a bike, and ALWAYS do the right thing and give me the part(s) they used the bikes for.
Do the right thing, and just give the dude(s) the freakin part your using their car to test on. The benefit to you far outweighs the cost of the part(s)

The aftermarket (ACT, RPS, Exedy) need to make an aftermarket Master cylinder.

I've also heard of the master cylinder's breaking due to increased pedal pressure.

Again, ACT, RPS and Exedy if your listening, something needs to be done...Imagine how little sales you'll get due to broken Clutch MC's!!

Where exactly are they breaking? I don't know that I have seen a thread on here, but possibly a simple master cylinder brace would be sufficient.

RPS will have the same or less pressure due to their design of their billet cover and diaphragm. Yet still having the ability to hold the power.
The other small issue is the release due to the non-adjustable clutch pedal. The release needs to be right on the money.

Or RPS could build a new clutch MC with adjustment
