Will the board alow the buku clutch? it is adjustable... but in a offroad configuration.... 3 shoe.. turn a set screw to make the spings tighter.... easy to do.

But.. if it comes appart.. game over..

I've been checking that clutch out. Pretty damn snazzy! But the price tag makes me quiver! However the adjustment would be nice.....but I think that would be a grey area part. Which I dunno if we wanna play in the grey area.

Maybe have the rules word it as no centax/slider type clutches.
Buggy type 2,3,4 shoe clutches only.

The Board will figure it out...
If they say no dice... well.. I can sell it to a offraod guy and go back to a JLR... that's what I ran last year...no Biggie..

Have you checked out the pipes... now that would make a huge difference in GT... if they work... a pipe that constantly changes as the RPM climbs...

F'uh yes! I have been waiting for them to be in stock for ages! But doesn't seem like thats gonna happen.

I've actually been very, very, very tempted to pick up one of the Extreme RC Mods pipes. They are simply gorgeous, and sound so nasty!

Yes. Straight up sound sickening. A true gear heads pipe. Makes any engine sound nuts! Especially if you actually have a high revving 21, oh my!

If we are allowing adjustable clutches, then this should be accepted as well.

Non-adjustable clutches means just that . No adjustment can be made on the clutch. If it can be adjusted , it's not legal.
