Help!!! I think my RPS is toast!!! Ok i was an idiot on new years eve and did some serious burnouts on an old set of tires... I line locked it and was determined like an idiot to pop these damn tires... Any way it took me three times. The first one was in first gear for like one minute, the second time was in second gear for a total of two minutes...
And the third time it finally popped after maybe a minute in second gear as well. The clutch has about 650 miles on it and is a RPS single disk with a 2900 lb preasure plate... I went to drive it the next day and at first the abs inop and tcs wasnt working but quickly was fine. The problem is when i take off in first gear now it sputters down low below 2000 rpm then goes decent. I got on it alittle bit and it just doesnt seem as fast. It idiols fine and it doesnt seem like anything motor related but the clutch is the only thing i can think of.... Help please....
By the way here's the last video....

Yeah I was pretty drunk im not gonna lie...lol. On private property of course... It doesnt feel like its slipping but i havent drove it much either... I just think i heated that bitch up too much and it's glazed or something. I just takes off real wierd, not smooth like before.

You prolly slipped it too much doin the 2nd gear burnout and now its all hot spotted and glazed. Did you ever smell clutch or anything? Is it chattering or somethin? Looks like they broke away pretty clean

Yeah thats what it kinda feels like its chattering or sputtering when i take off normal. There was so much smoke from the tires i couldnt smell anything other than that but im sure clutch stank was present, so much clutch is probably gone, does anyone know what rps charges to rebuild these things?

. it sounds like a spotted flywheel to me. get new clutch and upgrade to an aftermarket flywheel

Thats what i was thinkin, the cool thing about the RPS flywheel is it doesnt actually make contact with the flywheel itself, it has these pucks that contact the clutch disk its self, so i guess im gonna need a new disk and replace the pucks on the flywheel.
****'s expensive...
