I actually love the way that looks. It actually highlights how damn similar the cars look.

Installed my Perrin cat-back. Fits really good.

Did the same, thanks for the hint!

Alignment being done right now with OEM crash bolts. Was told I got -1.4 on one side and -1.15 on the other.

I'll post a screen grab once they're done and I get the picture/documentation. Pretty happy with -1% with the crash bolts alone.

Ask them to move the subframe to equal it out

Picked up car Monday at 7pm, test fit RPF1's at 9PM. Then yesterday got its 1st bath then was up until about 2am detailing it. Claybar, then Polish, then Gtechnic CSL, and Gtechnic Exo. Still need to coat the wheel and glass but can do those this evening. Already coated the RPF1's a couple weeks back.

Love those bronze RPF1s, what size/offset are they?

17x7.5 +48 and tires are 245/40/17 RT660s

Installed MTEC clutch spring.

I don't know who the fuck is out here saying it's easy, not only is it in the worst possible area of the car to work on, it was also a major pain in the ass. Idk maybe it's just me. Took me almost two hours of fiddling with the damn pin.

The feel is a lot better than stock. Would definitely recommend it. I also temporarily ran the car without the spring at all and the feel was even better. It felt very close to my Miata which has a stage 1 clutch. Although the car might get a tiny bit annoying in traffic.

Overall I'd say good improvement over stock, well worth the $27.

I ran my Gen 1 with no spring at all and am very tempted to do the same on the '22. Gen 1 with no spring wasn't too terrible in traffic IMO. Also got the benefit of a shorter pedal throw. Though I'm sure that's personal preference.

Simmons · 12-08-2021, 10:32 PM

I put my 17x9 Enkei RPF1's on to see what it looked like.
I also weighed the stock 17" wheels/tires
To not hit the strut it needed a 5mm spacer on the front.

How's the noise in the cabin? I'm guessing it's similar to the first gens?

Simmons · 12-09-2021, 07:30 AM

The noise in the car is quiet. Will be louder once I do a header.
