Has anyone ordered from Horse Power in a box ?

Iam going to order a new light weight flywheel/clutch combo for my car from them, but i just wanted to know if anyone has had any experince with them? They are all the way in australia so maybe one of the aussie guys have delt with them? Whats the best way to pay, they mentioned Direct wire transfer of the money, but how safe is that?


Also, They mentioned that to use their flywheel i have to use a smaller clutch...12a i believe (8.5" compared to mine being 9"?) would that cause me any problems?

I have ordered a few things from Tim, have no fear, he ships when he says he will and the quality is top notch... He even emails you back with answers to your technical questions....

Alright, thanks!

Does anyone know about using a smaller clutch? It shouldn't make a difference right?

Email tim, but if you can use a bigger on, I dont see why youd ever want a smaller one?

He said the the only flywheel he could get for me needed a smaller clutch (which he would supply) so i was just double checking that it wouldn't make any difference.

i ordered a flywheel and clutch from him and had a few problems.. the flywheel and clutch wouldnt fit together.. there were no rivits in the flywheel for the clutch to grab onto.. i had to put my own ring gear on.. thats not a prob but where the ring gear sat it was too high and did not fit.. i did like the clutch he sent me though but couldnt use it on my stock setup, holes were not in the right spot for mounting.. i liked his service though, friendly.. he he gladley took the stuff back.. he says he uses a 215mm clutch becuase not many ppl have good 225mm clutches.. just be careful that it fits otherwise your gonna be spending a lot of money on shipping i am gonna try selectmaz for my flywheel (3KG) hopefully that looks good otherwise ill just get the RB one.
