Zilvians....Buddy Club would like your input...
well...after extensive talking with buddy club (theyre one of dorkidoris official sponsors)...they have agreed to take quite a few things into consideration if i proved viable feedback to them regarding their S chassis compatable products
first...the biggest thing im pulling for them to bring out (they have a test set made up for the S15...however...if there is enough interest shown...they will bring out a set for the S14 and S13) BUDDY CLUB GAUGE CLUSTER: those are a COMPLETE gauge cluster replacement...i know the image above is for a civic cluster...however...would anyone want something like this for their S chassis??? (given how old our clusters are getting)...i think they said their pricing for such a setup would be 450-500 depending on the car the gauges themselves have stepping motors in them so they sweep when turned on and the temp/gas gauge would be a digital representation (though they said that in the S13 it may have to be an analogue gauge) SR20DET CAMS: Buddy Club is also developing SR20det camshafts with a variety of durations...they dont want to bring them here due to an over saturated market...again however...if there is enough interest shown they will bring them over to the states WHEELS: Buddy Club wheels...this is a BIG one i want to bring out to you guys...Buddy Clubs minimum order for wheels is 20 per size...there are 2 different styles that you can get in nice sizes/offsets (one style are actually forged single peice and light as whoa) BUDDY CLUB RACING P1 QF FORGED: 17x8 +28 5x114.3 14lbs | 17x9 +5 or +15 5x114.3 14.3lbs | 17x9.5 +8 5x114.3 15lbs 18x9 +35 5x114.3 14.7lbs | 18x10 +12 or +35 5x114.3 16.5lbs BUDDY CLUB RACING P2: 17x8 +35 4x114.3 | 17x8 +30 5x114.3 | 17x9 +35 5x114.3 |17x9 +35 5x114.3 | 17x9 +15 5x114.3 | 17x10 +20 5x114.3 18x8 +30 5x114.3 | 18x9 +35 5x114.3 | 18x10 +20 5x114.3 i would like everyones input on if they would like to see these parts stateside...the wheels i can provide pricing for incase there is a large interest...i may even be able to set up some kind of group buy for them...however...i just really want peoples input....especially on the gauge cluster buddy club has a strong racing presence in japan and is not some cheap Taiwanese parts knock off company...they produce quality parts and i for one would LOVE to see more of their stuff stateside for the S chassis (i mean they have a R34 racecar AND Z33 racecar that actually run circuit races in japan on a normal basis) so please...mature input and the above parts may just become a reality =D |

I'd like to see a mock up/prototype of how the gauge cluster would be for the s13. I've been wanting to modernize the look of my gauge cluster a little and this might be an option if I can't think of anything to do to mine.

I personally think that the BUDDY CLUB RACING P1 QF FORGED is a bit outside of the price range for most Zilvians
We've ordered a few sets for Evo owners, but for the price I don't think I ever justified ordering a set to stock for 240 Although yes, the wheel has good fitment But imagine having to move 20 pieces per size, at a high price tag, don't think you'll get too many 240 guys jumping on it Also, since there is no front good offset/width 18 size, then you can't hit the Z or G35 market either As far as the BUDDY CLUB RACING P2 goes, that would sell I think, but its all gonna depend on pricing For the clusters, unless it has additional functions like oil pressure, water temp, boost, etc, I don't forsee it selling to well to S chassis owners, especially for $400-500 For $400-500, you could easily find a working stock cluster and spend the rest on name brand gauges Again, everything is going to come down to price You can get good feedback now when its just feedback, but when you ask to see some wallets, that feedback might change Not hating just keeping it real, so don't get too trigger happy based on initial feedback

Those Mono P1's might change the way people jock TE nuts.
Those weights are unbelievable and revolutionary, that's awesome. 18x9.5 TE37 is 18.3lbs VS. 18x10 5x114.3 16.5lbs Correct me if i am wrong though, arent the P1's (as well as P2's already in existence) ... Still, this will be a great was to get a new set if desired. |

I would love to have a new cluster.
Even better if we can choose our own colors or they make more than just one. I'm down.

those forged P1s are actually priced to compete with TE37s
and yes...P1 and P2s are already in existence...BUT...buddy club doesnt bring them to america because they cant get people to buy them enough in the offsets that are for RWD (now back in japan is a totally different story) and logan...thank you for your input...i (and alot of people on this forum) greatly appreciate what you do for the S chassis community and i for one greatly value your input =D keep the feedback coming guys |

A little FYI.. dudes full of shit lol
in order for Buddy Club to even consider making any QF wheel.. you have to put in a 10 set (40 piece) order, for that ONE particular wheel. no mix and match offsets, or sizes. AND a 50% non refundable deposit. PLUS, you have to be a dealer, or have a dealer order them for you. PLUUUSSS it has to be a wheel they were already thinking about producing, or already have in the past. 18x10's (not exactly sure of what offset) should be coming soon, but not soon enough. last time i checked, they werent 100% positive on bringing the 10" to the US. lastly on the QF wheel.. it will take 6 months at the LEAST from the time of order. 2nd - No they are not bringing back SR cams. wont ever happen.. aint gonna happen, no way. haha 3rd - P2's aren't "P2's" numbnuts. They are called II Plus. P2's were discontinued ages ago. and last but not least, the cluster as of right now, is for the EK only. which, is a honda. They havent even begun to develope for any other make, other than honda. If they have, its a sample, not a "promise to make." So.. before dude guy here, get's all your hopes up, there is a little "insight" for you. OWNED

then why dont you tell us? what was the point of removing your sig if thats what would have given you some credibility. I'm not saying you have none, i'm saying its stupid of you to hide it when making claims like this. Did you just take the info out of your sig so you could come in here to start an arguement? very mature...

You do realize people jock TE nuts because they look awesome. Not only because it's lightweight. That helps too.
You could make a 5 lb forged monoblock wheel at $1500 a set but it looks like shit and I still won't buy it. Sorry to get off topic. |

i dont think the forged wheels will sell. they just dont have the name like the TE's have just like the forged FN01R wheels. they made forged ones of those and i think i may have been the only one that bought some.

the QF wheels, sell themselves. trust me. EXTREMELY light weight, and durable wheel. a great wheel if you arent too concerned about having a huge lip to show.
