    I have heard from several sources and other clutch manufacturers FU owed money to, and FU has had it's doors closed. The outstanding debts they could find records of were contacted by a legal/accounting firm to settle the debts. I first heard about it around two weeks ago.

    If I hear anything about who to contact if you had bought and paid while never receiving product or being refunded your money, I will post.

    What a guy

    This guy is a con artist, he worked at Raybestos then at Ace, suposidly he was persuid by both leagally. He then somehow got his own deal going and the word is he lied to and ripped off everyone, his customers, his vendors, and his backer!
    What a guy!
    So let's do a break down! Go to work for a company steal thier secret's, go to work for a company that compeats with them and steal thier secret's, con a good guy into putting you in bussiness so you can persue your dream, burn everyone you come in contact with including the customers that supported you and then finally the guy who backed you!
    WHAT A GUY!
    My feelings stick with the industry standard Bonifante or Crower! Don't take a chance they been doin this for ever and they put thier name on it!

    check your credit cards

    right before he folded the doors he went back and charged credit cards he had on file for duplicate orders that were never ordered or received.check your credit cards i know of at least 6 people this happened to. its a shame because we always had great success out of bobs discs

    YEADON, Pa. (September 10, 2010) -- Nick Boninfante, owner and president of Boninfante Performance Clutch Parts announced today that his company has purchased substantially all of the machinery, equipment and inventory of Friction Unlimited.
    Boninfante is the industry leader in high-performance racing clutches for not only the drag racing industry but also tractor pullers, and many other forms of motorsports.
