I registered there. Thought i'd copy and paste some to make it easier for everyone else:
Well i finally took the Tex out of my Red Head, after being hounded by Peter from Textralia for about 6 months.

When i finally took the pressure plate of the clutch assembly i couldnt believe my eyes as to the condition of the Tex
Below are pics of the what was left of the clutch.
BLOODY 95 % OF IT, THATS WHATS LEFT, ITS LIKE NEW!!!!
This image clearly shows how much meat is left on the Buttons
In this image i have tried to show how evenly the contact plates have worn.
Ahh there is an angelic glow about it.
So it going back in for some more LOVE , a bit of a quick clean new spiggot bearing and away we GO
You cannot ask anymore from a product IMHO thanks Peter talk to you again in another year and 100 passes.
Cheers

i JUST put this in my car.
Went with the OZ textralia clutch. My mechanic and I have been bickering between the spec and the textralia and I never go against what he says, but this time.. i did.
So... I am VERY HAPPY to hear that the tex is holding up.
Plus the no bedding time is some sick stuff.

Got the same clutch in mine, been beating the heck out of it, I'm running my best times yet with this clutch. I even tried revving to 6k and dumping the clutch last weekend and the car pulled the front tires. Once they came down, I lost traction, though. So I'm back to easing the car off the line, but this clutch grabs hard.

Great news, cause I never want to install a clutch in my vette ever again. 
I think this clutch has the highest customer satisfaction of all the LSx clutches out there. You never hear of anyone with anything bad to say about the Tex. Glad I spent the extra money.
