It's probably $666.99, either that or you'll see Satan himself in the reflection off the tank

Thanks! Trying to get like your engine bay lol
I wish it was the Narita one from Japan. But I just couldn't bring myself to pay that much since I bought a new bumper and lip right around the same time. for around 250 this one isn't bad at all but it's not Narita lol. Its just missing some holes where it meets the bumper which I ll just drill

Lol, I hear you there. I struggled with that one too. If I hadn't had the paint work done already I probably would have gone the Narita / TK route. Thank goodness for paint!

That should be an easy drill. Add all that in with the bumper and lip and you'll have a whole new look. Very nice!

Got my clutch bleed at Motion Lab here in Charlotte. They are somewhat involved in the VQ world--sponsor over on the 370 board--so I figured they could handle something as simple as bleeding my clutch and I could check out there shop.

They mostly had turbo Subarus, but I also saw a C5, Evo, `speed 3, 240 and a 3.7 block they were building for a turbo G. They also have an AWD dyno.

Their base brake fluid is ATE but they also carry Motul. We ended up using my RBF600 which he said was probably overkill. But I had two unopened bottles, so "free"

How does the clutch feel?

Total placebo effect. It feels lighter. It's probably all in my head, since I can't imagine a little fluid making any difference.

But I stalled her backing out of the parking lot

First time in almost 3 years and 24k miles that I stalled my G. Placebo effect

I drive by there 3 days a week minimum, and there's no fewer than 5 Turbo Subarus in the parking lot at all times. I've never stopped by as I rarely ever see an empty parking space.

Did you pull out onto Nations Crossing or did you drive around back through the gravel onto Verbena? I'm wondering if it's connected, and if the gravel may have contributed to your stalling.

Clutch fluid change and feeling better is not a placebo effect. It actually feels much smoother than stock.

I went out into verbena or whatever that side street is. The bump getting into their lot is terrible. It's the first time I scraped since being lowered. Definitely drive around and through the gravel--they told me it's going to get paved soon.
