**PSA : since Shady cant ready the link i posted a few posts down to the mod list of the particular car, i will cut out the confusion, this is not a Fidanza flywheel, it is an Unorthodox Racing Aluminum flyhweel** this is how you kill a clutch :wow 700whp 1.8t flat foot shifting at 9100rpm. ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f21/frankiebonez337/Clutch%20Carnage/DSC_0150.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f21/frankiebonez337/Clutch%20Carnage/DSC_0150.jpg) ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f21/frankiebonez337/Clutch%20Carnage/DSC_0151.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f21/frankiebonez337/Clutch%20Carnage/DSC_0151.jpg) ![http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f21/frankiebonez337/Clutch%20Carnage/DSC_0144.jpg](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f21/frankiebonez337/Clutch%20Carnage/DSC_0144.jpg) ---

this guy got lucky, 9100 rpm, no scattersheild, and nothing went into the car… destroyed the case, and a ding on the bottom of the car but the outcome could have been fatal. ---

> [@88slowmarro](#): > > thats the cause of all the carnge not the clutch .but still impresive out of a nazi box ;D not so. the clutch caught, stretched the straps on the PP, and twisted so violently it ripped the flywheel apart along with everything else… 707whp 9100rpm flat foot shift, on slicks, with a nasty tranny and nasty axles, something is gonna give. Southbend warrantied the clutch too. ---
