Ok, first, you gave it four hours. This forum has been moving slow as hell lately, so don't necessarily expect anything that quick.

Second, all the hearsay I've heard has said something like, "these things blow, don't bother." I have a good friend who used one, had it lock up on him, and was stranded at work for awhile because of it. Just based on that, I'd advise against it, but I don't have any personal experience.

I have seen a few fail.

Why would you want one, other than making your clutch pedal stiffer? You still will not be able to shift any faster without damaging your trans.

I bought an OEM replacement, it is VERY affordable and it has an unquestionable reliability.

(not my cluster. it is from a civic VX)

i got one when it first came out.
it blew out in 3 days but i put the revised version in. 3 months so far and no problems.

the reduced petal travel is really nice but because my petal was aready very stiff aready this made it even more stiff. it kinda makes it harder to rev match and stuff for me but i think i'll get used to it eventually or i'll find a clutch with a softer petal then the act to compensate. im due for one anyway.

I feel the same as this guy.

I tried one in a stock Teg GSR. The feel felt really good to me & I was satisfied w/ it so I bought one.

The extra pressure wasn't really an issue on the stock GSR. Now that I have it w/ an aftermarket clutch/pressure plate, it is really stiff. It is manageable, but in the longrun I will not be happy w/ this setup. I am running the Competition Clutch Stage 1 w/ a Jun Flywheel. I know of a few clutch/pressure plate setups that would probably work really well w/ the added pressure of the Omni unit.

... And to answer the original question... I do not know of anyone who has adapted it. I'm sure if you have someone that can flare a line for you & do some metalwork on the firewall, that it could be manageable.
