They're pretty pricey too, and I'm kind of expecting it to have only a 20% longer life time than oem's throwout bearing .. but who knows.

The OEM TOB lasted 140,000km on my 2017. Not 100% whether I got the updated one or not since apparently not all 2017s got it based on production date.

So far I'm happy with how everything is feeling. For added context I also have the forester slave cylinder and Mtec clutch assist spring, so pedal feel is probably going to vary a bit.

Only gripe/adjustment is that pedal feels like it engages last 20% of pedal travel. Adjusted the pedal but overall just feels like there's less modulation overall. I don't think that's nessesarily TOB related probably the OEM exedy clutch. Fairy certain OEM setup didn't bite that low on the pedal.

I have 1000km on it now, waiting to see if anything Changes after 1500km or so which is what exedy says is typically break in cycle with highway driving.

I replaced the battery in my FOB, for the first time, in 10 years.

Mine still has the original battery in it from 2012.

A few days ago I put a center console armrest in. Should have done this one a long time ago.

At a state inspection (which in Va is done by repair shops), my FRS failed because they said I had a bad ball joint, so I decided to try Whiteline's roll center adjustment kit. Just for fun, I added the end links since mine have 110k miles on them.

Funny thing, upon removal, neither ball joint appeared bad. I guess the shop was looking for extra work. And, their tech said he couldn't find a replacement ball joint because Scions haven't been made since 2016.

The reinspection is free but I won't be going there for anything else except, they did have a good price on Conti DWS which is why I went there instead of my regular place where they know I do my own car repair.

Installed some flashy bits that no one will ever see. But my pinch welds and jack stand pads will certainly appreciate it.

Yeah I think this is not taking weight completely off the pinch welds, but at least it's getting distributed better, and will stop splitting my rubber jack stand pads. I suppose I'm lucky to find these after my first year in AX lol.
