Default Omnipower Clutch Mast. Cyl.

I am in no way affiliated with Omnipower nor paid. I was given this product to tryout and give my honest opinion. I met Steve while i was getting my car tuned by Shawn Church (Ultimate Lurker). While getting my car tuned, Steve finished installing the master cyl. on Shawn's car. Shawn was equally amazed on how the car felt and drove. the master cyl. is in it's final stage of testing and will be projected to be released in feb.

I just installed a new master cylinder that Omnipower is going to release in Feb. First impression, WOW. Im not being bias when i say this but I think this mod will have more of a wow factor than the Axialflow SS. I have both products so im not favoring one or the other. before i say more here is the link to this product http://www.omnipowerusa.com/Products/Produ...er_Cylinder.asp.
It literally feels like an sequential or an auto tranny when shifting. you can make lightning quick shifts every time. i will post pics tomorrow along with more review.

i have no idea what the price will be. that's up to Steve and the ppl over at Omnipower to decide. but im thinking if ppl will pay 250 for SS, im sure it'll do well in the 2-300 range. but dont quote me on that. it's just what i would expect to pay. you really have to experience this for yourself. on shawn's car with stock shifter, amazing. on my car with short shifter, amazing.

That's maybe so, but there are several sites on-line already selling such a device for $170-180 for Civics and Integras. I don't know if the S2000 part is special in any way.

the pedal travel is shortened. if you try to adjust the rod on your master cyl. you wont allow the amount of fluid to fully engage or disengage your clutch. what omnipower did was increase the diameter of the piston in the master cyl so that you move equal volume of fluid with short pedal travel. also the pedal isnt sloppy. when you shift it just grabs and go. it feels like driving an auto with the quick shifting it allows. i will try to gather some ppl in socal to drive my car and have them post their reviews.

My friend has it on his integra but I didn't understand what it really does. Is it the same as putting an ss line on your clutch line.

the pedal is almost to the ground. all you have is about an inch of travel. so no slack. just super fast shift. it's perfect for the s2000

I have no idea, if this product is good or not. I'd probably would like to try it out. But I find this statement amusing. If you were given the product as you stated, you were compensated.

Sounds like loads of fun in stop-and-go traffic.
