WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 1412 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Finally installed new clutch today. Went with the X clutch 9.5 inch. First thing I noticed it the peddle is lighter than the ACT street clutch that has 100 ft lb less holding force. This one is a little more grabby but a lot smother than the ACT was at break in.

Since this thread is slow.

I drove my car home from work today. On the 2nd tank of gas after the clutch. Once it is empty will refill with E85 and hammer on the clutch to see if it is better than the ACT that I had before.

I decided to go out to the garage, reinstall my 4.3 diff, and start setting up my new coilover only to find out my RLCA's don't work with them. RacerX has a brace in their RLCA that other brands don't have and the Annex coilovers have a large lower mount that you use to set travel that don't play nice together

^^^ Nice and even.

How much negative camber in front "should" you run for DD/canyon carving? -2 degrees?

1/2 a degree would be plenty for my sister to get a good run out of her tires. Though she would probably wear the insides more. I like -2.5 and get good wear over the life of the tire with suitable pressures. So it all depends!

That's what sucks about static camber. Have to decide between cornering or even tread wear. In reality, the cost of the rubber wasted is a pittance compared to overall cost of operation/ownership. We're only losing the ability to even out the wear through periodic tire rotation. IMO, for a DD, just toss in some negative and call it good.

I'm like -1.5 or so, plenty of grip for canyon carving but without compromising tires lofe span.

Drove it for the first time since it went into winter storage in October.

Weather forecast was a bit off though. Rainy drives are still fun.

Looked at it. Going up to 15c this week, may take it out of garage, 4 months hibernation
is enough.

Since there are lots of Chocolate Rabbits around for tomorrow its a reminder that you have to pick up a new battery to replace that 8 yr old exhausted one ..
