Adjusted my clutch pedal clutch release height. Pretty easy with the yt video instructions. Still needs some very fine dialing in, but it's pretty much right in the zone now.

I wish you could adjust all the pedals. The brake is too high, clutch way to high (I need to adjust that one still). I guess the clutch adjustment with one of those aftermarket accelerator pedals will have to do. I hate how I can't just swivel between brake and gas, I have to pick up my leg too much.

I'm pretty tall too, so to get a comfortable pedal position, I'm too far from the wheel. I may end up getting one of those steering column extenders...

Ordered the Grimmspeed mcb, just need to get the damn car back from the dealer. It's been in for a month while they figure out my cel. Apparently it has transcended the current tsb for the rough idle w/ cel/sl.

Honestly I think the brake is fine. I just wish I didn't have to brake so hard just to get my heel in line to blip the throttle, b/c sometimes I just need to lightly brake WHILE downshifting (combo both brake and engine brake) to get the corner to hit the apex or simply return power fast enough. So yeah, maybe the brake pedal does need to be lowered, but thing is, under hard braking, I need that full brake pedal travel to roll on strong but even on the brakes. Or maybe that just wasn't the right spot for heel-toe...

Got Smoked by a Civic Si.......as he was trying to race me from a light and toasted his clutch letting the smoke out and leaving him limping to the next light. Never broke 2.5K RPM and snickered as he crawled up beside me at the next light.

Sounds like a Subie. Civic tries to race a subie and its clutch roasts or the turbo melts, or the engine takes a dump .

Good job

Had my first drive in the snow a few nights ago. Don't have my snow tires yet so wasn't really prepared but it went fine. :shrug:

I ordered some weathertech floormats and installed them today.
