I launched my BRZ and my already overdue clutch started slipping on takeoff. So today I put it on jackstands, took the skidplates off, and I'm waiting for my Exedy OEM replacement

I have been using Battery Tenders. They have not been an issue on the other vehicles they are used on. Recently I have changed to a Schumacher dual output charger / maintainer. This works well as two cars are parked one over top of the other on a stacking lift. Time will tell.

Installed today. Main reason was for easier maintenance, but first drive seemed to have reduced torque on low rpm. Let’s see how it goes after a week or so.

I hope you remembered to remove the plastic bag before installation...the car just don't like the plastic bagged filter..

lol. Not that stupid. The change is not so drastic, maybe is a confirmation bias stuff instead of an issue. No real data to backup what I am saying.

I went from HKS drop in to the Takeda CAI with a tune, the car does feel like it wants to rev.

Maybe a tune is the next step...I was thinking in OFT as a starter, but also like flex fuel solutions. Still not sure.

Would be awesome if you could post a review of this setup after a while. Initially I wanted exactly the same setup for my car but I got Tein Flex A instead.

The machine becomes weightless. Just disappears. And all that's left is a body moving through space and time. 7,000 RPM. That's where you meet it. You feel it coming. It creeps up on you, close in your ear. Asks you a question. The only question that matters. Who are you? Last edited by BrahmaBull1990; 05-03-2021 at 11:14 PM.
