What did you do to your 2nd gen BRZ today?

I tried the ASC off for a few days. Don’t like it. I prefer the speaker on. I think there’s probably a sweet spot between on and off though, so literally a volume control on the ASC would be perfect for me.

Its the main reason I left it on my FRS, I've been caught in hours long traffic jams and because its so easy to actuate I don't get any feelings of wanting to return to an automatic because lets face it automatics don't make traffic any better. I'm more likely to get right leg fatigue these days...so auto/manual jams make no difference to me these days if the clutch pedal is light.

A heavy clutch pedal however in hours long jams will put me in a position to sell the manual car and go automatic. If you don't have to deal with lousy traffic however, removing the spring is something you can do and I'm sure it will feel superior.

I get it, I live in a really heavy traffic city too. For me, I'd still rather deal with a heavy clutch that has good feel in stop/go vs a lighter clutch that's numb. FWIW, on the BRZ, the before/after difference on the weight of the clutch was almost unnoticeable. I'd give it a shot, you can always throw it back in if you don't like it.

Fixed the homelink harness and disabled hill assist. The hill assist light was driving me nuts.

Pretty sure my first mod will be the clutch spring delete. The hill assist delete, chime delete, and probably the ASC will be my 2 -4th. Where is the link to the hill assist delete and chime delete?

I installed the Perrin trunk handle to close my trunk. I have been using the black rubber stopper and was afraid I was going to pull it off.

Cusco gas pedal installed, huge improvement.

I've been debating on snagging one of these. Does it bring the pedal any closer to you? I'm between something like this and the Velox throttle spacer -- but I dont think bringing the pedal a full inch closer to me is the solution I'm looking for.

It does bring it ever so slightly closer, but its the width that made the biggest difference for me. This pedal is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anyone in a 2nd Gen. I think the pedal spacer just wouldn't cut it, IMHO of course.

I did the MTec spring, I don't drive everyday in bumper to bumper but live in LA so it's inevitable sometimes, it haven't really noticed a difference between stock and MTec, I guess it's a slightly heavier feel in the engagement zone but lighter at the top. There's a tiny bit of play at the top which I'm not sure I like, debating whether or not to just swap back to stock. I think the real fix would be to lower the bite point, I think it's too high (late).

I agree that the bite point is a little too high. Is there a way to adjust the clutch bite point?

Yup, adjust the clutch pedal and make the pushrod a little longer. Doesn't take much.

I also agree that the pedal bite point is too high.

A DIY vid would be helpful 👍

Looks useful.
Is it this one?

Did you use any good guideline for installation, or it is obvious enough?
