Did the clutch slave cylinder swap: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77390

Wishing I had done it long ago... was starting to really not like this car because of the obnoxious clutch feel/response.

I want a duckbill! but i really want the KM4SH or Legsport...

Made a sub enclosure with my buddy, 10" JBL. I'm happy with it! Considering I've only ever done fiberglass once before it's not bad. Little rough around the edges but the carpet hides that decent. Sounds fantastic, much needed boost.

Installed with a JBL GX-A602 2 channel amp hidden cleanly under the passenger seat.

Nicely done! This is one of my winter projects.

I hesitate to call it an amazing mod because I don't want to set anyone's hopes too high, but I highly appreciate the swap. For what it costs and how easy it is to do, what's there to lose?

After driving it more today I'm definitely finding it easier to shift consistently. May seem like a subtle change, but for whatever reason it helped me a lot.

Yeah, I understand it's not going to be like suddenly the clutch is an extension of my body, but it's gotta be better. The factory clutch setup is rather vague and has almost no feel.

Just do it! I'm still very happy with it and have been driving it a lot because of it. I switched back and forth between my BRZ and Miata a few times and it really is an improvement. The throw seems freakishly short after finally re-adjusting the grab point and the pedal stop, but I don't find it a problem at all even after using the (relatively) freakishly long throw the Miata has with its new clutch.

I put an earing on it.

This is the GoPro mount rear tug from Raceseng. It comes with a warning basically telling you that if you need to use it - you should probably mount the original tow hook.

tldr - if I do it just right - I can use this thing to get video of someone getting snapped in the face with awesome looking aluminum hehe.

I will get around to cutting a hole out of the cover when I find my damn hole bit.

I didn't realize they were just fashion accessories.

Gave her an oil service & took it to Rocky Mountain Subaru Festival. It was a blast!
