I also don't trail brake much so that's probably why I haven't needed the pedal dance. The stability/traction/braking control systems don't ever intervene so I'm good with the button hold for now.



Around Road Atlanta when the car is running E85 I average 90mph on a hot lap. Top speed before braking into turn 10 after the long back straight is 125mph, redlining 5th gear.

With pump gas my lap times are consistently about 5 seconds slower and my top speed is around 115.
Try it. I promise you'll never look back.

Met up with 26 other owners today in Atlanta. Had a meetup and ride over to Oloba Rennsport to watch the US Grand Prix.

5th gear will go to 130 before bouncing off the limiter with stock tune and 93. Don't be afraid to push it.

My redline is 7850 IIRC. It's a soft limiter too so the fuel cut isn't there to upset the car before braking. Top speed into 10A is all about the exit speed you get out of 7. I've gotten better about leaving the car in 3rd versus wasting time taking 2nd gear and winding it out. I just need to get on the gas sooner and I think 130mph into 10A will happen

Wow, 7850 is up there. I could certainly have used that at Daytona this weekend. 130mph is the target number for 10A. 120mph for T1. Leave it in 3rd for T7 and pick up the throttle before the apex. I'll be on E85 in December. Should be fun chasing those numbers.

Still can't believe this actually happened but Amazon honored a ridiculously low price for a Mishimoto Cooling Kit, which included an aluminum radiator, silicone coolant hoses and low temp thermostat. Received it just now and it's all there and looks good!









Install will be a PITA but worth it

Actually a pretty easy install. If you're familiar with taking the bumper off, draining the radiator takes longer than replacing it.

PS. Don't accidentally unbolt the AC condenser like I did ...but I don't use AC so nothing to see here.

A n00b that came over to help actually did that while I was installing my turbo kit. Just before I could tell him to stop his hand got a nice shot of freon, and I had to have a buddy at the local Subaru dealer refill my system.
