New Camaro5 Sponsor- Circle D Specialties

Wanted to jump in here and say we are now official site sponsors. We have seen this board grow and wanted to be a more active part of it. Let us know if you have any converter related questions and we would be happy to assist.

Also, my sales/tech associate Brian will be chiming in from time to time to help as well.

Also wanted to talk a little bit about what makes Circle D Specialties, well special. First I will start out with our converters, all our Pro Series converters use our billet front that is designed and machined in house. We are extremely proud of our design, so much so that we dare you to break it. From the deep groove ball bearing to the one piece billet multi disk piston, they are built to handle anything you can throw at them. We have diameter options of 265mm, 258mm or the 245mm, in a single or multi disk. The HP series is based on our famous 278mm, great for the DD just looking for that extra punch but drive very very close to stock. We have lots of choices and it can be overwhelming. Which brings us to the next topic, customer service. We are here to help you with any questions you have, email - PM or give us a call. Customer service is very important, we will be here if you need us.

A few pics of the inside of one of our converters.

First operation on the CNC machine, side note - our forgings are Made in the USA - very proud of that.

Multi disk clutch pack and billet piston, for lock up under power.

If you guys have any questions just let me or Brian know. Thanks for all the support from our current customers!!

Chris

Checking in on this thread. My name is Brian. I have a little bit of experience in just about everywhere in the converter build process, so if you have any questions just let me know. I will also add my .02 from time to time around here. Looking forward to working with everybody.

Great guys and a great product. I don't have one in my 5th gen since its a manual, but when I was building my 4th gen last year, they were able to build a converter spot on to what I was looking for. I have used multiple other brand converters in various vehicles, but now that I found Circle-D I highly doubt I will use anyone else.

It's good to see you guys come aboard.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes..... Appreciate it.

Not a fan of group buys, to much BS to keep up with. But mention this thread and I will do a little something for you guys, $50 off any billet converter. Good till the end of June.
