Awesome build man....I know you have been patiently waiting to go single....

You definitely need to lay all those parts out on a table or garage floor and get a picture of them....

And never sell the SC man.....

Great project, wonderful car!

What are the benefits of removing the oil squirters?

there are multiple, the aftermarket pistons do not need the extra oil to be splashed on them, also removing them and blocking the ports will increase oil pressure at high RPM and prolong the main bearing life

Okay didn´t know this.
Sounds like a good mod for a built engine.

Man you have the best build threads. Why did you get rid of the RPS for an OS Giken?

My platinum brother! We all knew you would eventually go single. You continue to outshine and outdo yourself at every level, BRAVO!! I love everything about your car and your build, it is the staple of what SC modding should be...

The OS Giken triple clutch has a much better feel and the quality of the unit is remarkable. its really even a shame to install it and never see it. its beautiful. plus its a lot more reliable because it does not have any of the dinky snap rings and such that tend to come loose or break that the RPS twin disk does

You know thats really surprising because I thought the push pull convertor on the OS giken would have a negative effect on the feel of the clutch. Yea its definitely a high quality piece of gear, the Japanese know what they are doing!

No the push/pull conversion kit actually makes the peal feel and engagement point smoother and more predictable. Also my rps used to engage all the way on top of the pedal. With this the window of engagement will be much greater and easier to drive. Plus it will handle more power

This car will always be one of the top SCs on this forum, no doubt !

Dmitry, I upgraded my phone and forgot to move phone numbers so I didn't recognize your number... haha. Answered your text message. Don't tell me you want a MKIV now , hahaha.

I don't mean to take away the opportunity of Dmitry being able to sell the torsen LSD from his 6 speed diff once he installs his trd on his pumpkin but for the info of those not aware and there are no future mis-understanding between members of our forum which for us mods make our life easier :

You cannot install that 6 speed torsen LSD into any other pumpkin except the Supra MKIV 6 speed pumpkin which has a 220 ring gear. I don't know of any other diff pumpkin available where you can install it. So without that MKIV 6 speed pumpkin it is literally useless for anyone.

Sorry Dmitry , my friend, got to say it so we all avoid future problems and mis-understandings.
