If its not one thing, it is the other one. Had a great autox event with a co-driver. This morning, post event, the clutch was all the way in. Had to pull it up in order to get it back to normal. Reservoir is dark but didn't notice any leaks on the master cylinder. Going to flush it and see if maybe there might be some air in the system.

Other than that, once I pulled it up, car drove as normal as usual. No noises, or slip.

Small maintenance items.


Cleaned the air filter. Reminder, have you taken a look at your filter? Chipmunks apparently love to use the housing as a doomsday prep storage.


Flushed the Clutch master cylinder with Motul DOT-4.


Did notice the car has been burning quite a bit of oil, since April, it consumed almost a quart of oil. Didn't notice a huge amount of blow-by on the catch can.


De-greased and cleaned the engine bay. The CAM position sensor is quite dirty, so might look into that but I highly doubt is the main source of oil leak.


Autocross: Had events back to back, things are slowly clicking for me where Im not backing off the gas as much and anticipating turns (looking ahead) way better. I want to give a huge prop to EBC Blue pads. They are fantastic at modulating.

More maintenance.


Oil Change at 82,000 miles with Valvoline Restore and Protect 0W-20.
Ordered a new PCV valve, I don't even think I need it, it's just in case.
Need to replace the front lip since it has killed a few cones over the past year.
Also need to start looking into replacing the coolant.
