Kiske to ship the muffler to Seattle WA via DHL was ~$280 it arrived in 5 days. There was a cheaper Japan post shipping option for about ~$150. But during covid I know there is a lot of issues doing international shipping with Japan post. All in I got this muffler with shipping for ~$1,000 so this was still a better route to rather then buying from a US Vendor.

Picked up a new retainer bearing for the clutch today. My local turner recommended coating this piece with anti friction and heat resident treatments.

Switched to the Ohlins last fall (albeit MP22 5k spec) and I'm loving it! I'm sure you will/already love the Swift spring set up for the track. Also doing Radium CC + JR Dual Rad/Cooler this spring too!

Followed ya back! I've come to embrace the Firestorm Red. I don't know if serious is the right term for me but I'm just having fun with it and doing it the right way

Will do. Scheduled for install next Friday.
HKS Clutch in hand arrived today finally from Japan. Got the specific STI muffler cushions as well. Here is a side by side comparison of the OEM vs STI cushions. Replaced all 4 on the axleback portion. Installed the STI muffler. Love the look. The noise is deeper which is nice. A little on the quiet side for my liking. But car has a good mix of intake/supercharger whine & Subaru Rumble. |

Does it make a diff with the new subaru cushion? I wonder if it works for other aftermarket muffler.

Picked up my car on Saturday with the new HKS clutch & flywheel installed.
Thoughts:
Still learning the new clutch a bit. so just my initial thoughts. overall happy unsure if its worth the extra cost over(JDM tax) other aftermarket solutions. |

Been driving some more miles on the new clutch. Took some adjusting to as the window to engage the clutch is smaller with the lighter flywheel. Another point is that the engagement is more on/off and less gradually.This resulted in some stalls and clutch smell in my learning process. In other news my swift springs finally arrived from racecomp. I had Ishii motors install the swift springs on my Ohlins R&T setup. I got 450lb F/R springs. Car actually rides better with the new springs. I am really happy with the ride. Looking forward to my first track day on the setup.
