yeah the stock clutch really sucks.. you can feel it slip when you hard shift into gear. (hell when you floor it you can smell it)
But, the clutch mod is like 2200$ (7 hours of labor required) and i'd rather just burn up the stock one until it's completely dead. I dont plan to do any power mods eg. new turbo, larger IC, stuff like that for a while. The reason why i got the cams is that gruppe S had an evo cancel on his 264/272 set (which are very hard to find) the split set that is. So i decided that it was worth my while. I am excited to see what it does on the dyno after some tuneing.
On a different note. Even though i have the cams, cam gears, and about 30 whp and 25ft/lbs of torq more, my brothers car still feels faster. I just jumped into it last night after driving my car for about 2 weeks.. and damn that felt like a
step up.. :shock: Not sure why, maybe the gearing, turbo, clutch/flywheel, or the weight difference?
It really kind of annoys me that i SORT OF cant get the "rush" off of my car the way i can off the wrx.. but it makes me feel all better when i realize that i can drive that car any time...
