Default CLUTCH & message to JUAN MENDOZA

Hey everyone, obviously my OEM clutch is totally fried because of my car. I ordered a clutch from Juan Mendoza from Werks of Art at the end of last year. I gave him a cashiers cheque for $980 USD and I also send him my flywheel around 8 months ago. He sent me an e-mail back acknowledging his acceptence of the cheque and the flywheel. And as of right now,... no word from him.

So now I just want my money back and my flywheel. I'm in desperate need of a clutch that will hold around 475-550hp and will be as streetable as that can be! (Best of both worlds). So now I'm just looking for recommendations for clutches and flywheels out there.

And to Juan Mendoza, please write me a cheque for $980 USD and send my flywheel back. If I don't hear from you in the next week, then I'll just assume you kept my flywheel and my $980 USD for the clutch that never came. I heard you had a respectable product, but I don't know what is taking so increadibly long.

Default Why don't you contact the Attorney General's office in CA for FRAUD!!!

If someone's in business that doesnot have a budget to spend on advertising, have its own website, advertize on print magazines and only trolls around in Audiworld for free advertisement, false endorsements and uses several different aliases, what kind of business person is he??? Moderators, are you looking the other way???

Ahh and you've waited in baited breath for 8 months. Something isn't legit here.

Default How do you like it. I need one soon, like this week. (SIII people please read)

I don't wan't to go through what this guy is going through. I also don't need a clutch to hold 500bhp. Did you get a new flywheel? is it steel? Tell me more about it. Cost etc. Is this guy Juan Mendoza a respectable guy to do business with? How do I get in touch with him? I need a great clutch that I can still drive in traffic. I have SIII so I need it to hold that power also.

Default There is also Spec and several folks run the South Bend. I have a Spec and am satisfied.

If Juan is wrapped around the axle and having trouble you might consider one of these alternatives. Save a few sheckles too. $400-500 for each of these alternatives. As far as a lightened fly wheel .. I prefer the OEM for streetability. I prefer the heavier mass for stop and go day to day driving.

Default Stephen, Does he have a web site? Where is he located? Post his telephone number....

Did you get the pictures I sent you? If so contact them. They'll make you a clutch and flywheel.
