Had a local semi celebrity drive the car over the weekend.
If you have been involved with Subarus for a long time and have been on forums like LERSOC(RIP)
NASIOC
RS25

You may have seen the screen name STORM. Well Jay and I have been friends for close to 20 years. He is the Subaru 5MT guru. I got a big thumbs up approval from him.
"I like it"
"Its really smooth"
"Dis/Engagement point is great for fast shifts and racing"
words out of his mouth.
At 850 Miles right now I have the CNC shop doing a short run. I have another local guy that puts double the mileage I do on his car. Going to put one in his.

Good idea. Lindsey Racing in conjunction with Spec has been using this setup as a solution to the weak clutch fork on the Porsche 944 a few years now. They call it a push clutch setup and it runs $279.

Only thing I didn't like about that set up was the hydraulic base was not bolted down. which could rattle the bearing around the snout and bind when being pushed if going crooked.
Porsche is lucky how flat the bell housing surface is for a simple adapter.

I'm getting a new clutch installed today but might be interested in doing this when I have the spare $$.

My CM FX400 clutch is slipping in gear with gas pedal. Bought a new ACT HDSS and then saw this. Not to back you into a corner, but when might delivery of the product be expected given preorder? Any guarantees on delivery or refund?

Fortunately for me, despite track, autocross and other forms of racing, I haven't had an issue with forks breaking. I'd appreciate a comfortable pedal feel though. It's also peace of mind knowing that the TOB isn't going to wear out from angular thrust from a fork.

Gaurenteed delivery we have already spent a huge chuck of money on everything to be made. Everything is ordered now we wait for the machinists. I really don’t want to discuss sales on this forum as I am not an authorized vendor. I like this forum would hate to be banned.

Anyone who purchased this had a chance to install and test it out? I received mine but had the TOB replaced with an OEM unit since I couldn't wait.
