A few companies make the clutch tool, but the one from www.ybslowinc.com is the nicest. They acutally make quite a few nice tools and upgrade parts.

yes ybslow makes some nice stuff
and just run the clutch stock for now till you get a handle on it and know what you think you need to do to tune your clutch.
most run the super hard spring (with kit) but with a yellow shoe.
do what Swauger said and you cant go wrong.
mugen also makes a clutch tool too.
and there drivers are really nice though they may cost a bit,there tips are great.

titanium turnbuckles, no need to buy the rear upper one, the original one is more easy to adjust. I run the whole car for more than 2 years, almost everything was original except the steel pulleys and front upper metal C-mount by Kawahara. Once you tried this car, you will love it.

For M Mod - The Border is a good place to purchase. It's not in the US but if you really want the parts, it'll get to you.
Definetly go with a reamer - www.reamer.com - EDP #00171 works fine.

Ok, I guess that's a definitive NO. Guess I won't get my hopes up on that one.
I have a set of GQ wheels along with a set of GRPs and they BOTH fit very tight on the drive axles. Is this normal? Would it help to get a 12mm reamer and hand ream the wheels for a smoother fit? At this point, they are anything but QR.

Ive seen Harry ream Swauger's wheels out and then coat the inside with a quick rub of grease for smooth pit stops

Found one at J&L Industrial Supply for $15. I'm just happy to know that it wasn't just me who found the wheels way too tight. A 11.93mm I.D. on a 12mm axle is just plain dumb. That's a lot of material to remove!
Glad I asked...
Thanks again, guys.
