Unhappy Thinking about ordering a clutch from horsepowerfreaks.com?

Don't.

I bought their 6-puck sprung disk only a few months ago, and thought it sounded like an excellent clutch. It was streetable, made little to no clutch chatter, and would support the power I would be making when I convert to a single turbo. Without my tune, I have to be making less than 300rwhp, and this disk supposedly was used in their 800hp Supra.

So I put the clutch in(along with replacing everything else in the area... flywheel, PP, bearings, etc), and use it for about 2000 miles before storing it for winter. Super Bowl Sunday was a nice day, and since my Giants had made it to the Super Bowl, I considered it a "special occasion". But on my way back from picking up the food for the event, my car stopped shifting while running. I could shift when the car was off, and even start it in gear, I just couldn't change gears if the car was on. Thinking it was a throwout bearing, a friend and I drop the tranny. Come to find out, the clutch became welded to the flywheel. Not only that, but this garbage clutch disintegrated ON TO the flywheel, as well as chewing deep grooves into it. Now I have mountains of clutch material welded on my flywheel, along with a worthless clutch. Just take a look at how deep the chunks missing from the clutch are... and the pictures don't even do it justice, the chunks missing are far larger than they appear in the photos...

Do you think I can just resurface the flywheel, or will I have to buy a new one? Should HPFs be liable to alleviate this situation, considering it has now cost me hundreds upon hundreds of dollars to fix this?

And a VERY special THANK YOU to Alex(ALNY93R1) for driving almost an hour to my town on his day off to help me drop my tranny, it is very much appreciated!
