Would you think its okay to use? Let me tell you the story real quick....... Back in about august i think it was i bought a clutch from a member on here......i also bought a flywheel. Both RPS....well the thing is this, him and i were cool on here, we'd talk every now and then on AIM and what not. Well he knew i was lookin for a clutch, and he was selling his.......so i trusted him. He told me that he has used about 1000 miles on the clutch, and was also selling the flywheel which had about the same amount of mileage. Now i asked him how much he wanted for it......and he sold it to me for about 870 once done and said for. So i told the shop (which my best friends around here own) that this guy was giving me a RPS segmented flywheel, and an RPS clutch for that price, and they were like, yea if its legit do it. So i did, now when i bought it from him i was worried cus i dont like to really buy stuff used from people, but i've talked to him for a while on here, and i felt i could trust him......(WICH WAS A HUGE MISTAKE). Well i got the clutch, and i had it shipped straight to my friends shop....they called me as soon as they got it, and the first thing they told me was "DUDE, we are not putting this in your car." So i was curious, so after work i went and saw it and considering i dont know much about it i could just tell it was pathetically HORRIBLE. They told me that it was completely roasted and it looks like theres is a 1000 miles on it.......a 1000 miles of launches and drag racing. So i went home that night and i got online and i talked to him.......he tries telling me that the clutch is still like new and i can still use it.....and that it will last me a very long time. SOOO i ask him just to call my friends shop and talk to them to see what they say and so that they could better explain the clutch to him. He says to me "dude i dont get the sense of calling them, i know that clutch/flywheel is good, and the only reason they're telling you that is so that they can sell you one from their shop." I tried explaining to him that thats not what they are trying to do, but he just insisted that it was......so i just got to the point where i asked him for my money back, he definetly declined that and went on to say that i bought a used product and that i cant expect it to be perfect, considering the way he explained this clutch/Flywheel was that it was literally almost perfect with little miles on it.
So i'm just curious on what you guys think.....i mean i know now its too late to even bother with him, but i dont want to sit here and let someone else get screwed by him. I know i cant reuse the clutch, and i dont wanna go sell it to someone on here and have them get screwed with a shitty clutch. I also know i can in a way possibly reuse the flywheel, just depends on if i can get the pads for the flywheel from RPS. I have someone helping me out on the flywheel, and i'm also getting a clutch from him, but i feel like this clutch is going to cost me 1400 bucks, just cus i bought a piece of shit clutch, possibly reused the flywheel, and bought a brand new clutch. Here are some pics of the clutch and the flywheel, take a look, let me know what you guys think and if you have any questions. Sorry for the long complaining but this has to be brought to the peoples attention on here, just so you know what kinda snake you are dealing with if he tries to sell you something. Pics:

But please feel free to state your opinions and such, but like i said i'll be putting more pics up soon. And i know this is sorta really my fault, so i'm not sitting here lookin for pitty, i just want everyone to see the type of person he is, and that you shouldnt buy from him. I've bottled this up LONGGGG enough. Thanks, Lebs
