Weathertech mats are sweet, I've been waiting for my set for over two months now through the MNSubaru group buy.

Hope you get them before Spring! I bought mine direct so only took two weeks.

My car is at RS Motors getting the clutch installed. Since he has the downpipe off I'm going to have him get an o2 bung on there for me. I've been wanting to get my PLX gauges installed but didn't want to proceed until I could put them all in at once.
Ron was generous enough to let me borrow his IX overnight so they wouldn't have to rush to finish my car this evening. That was cool since I'd never driven an VIII or IX before.

It is two OLED gauges, a boost sender, an afr sender, and an OBDII attachment. The sensors are all daisy-chained together.
Once installed I'll be able to program the gauges to display the output of both of the PLX sensors and any OEM sensor.
Would you believe that PLX even has a bluetooth adapter so that you can use an iPhone as a gauge? It's some pretty sick stuff.

I tried a half-dozen ways to start out in 1st gear with that six puck and nothing is smooth. Reverse is fine but there is some definite engine bucking/clunking whenever I start out in 1st. Might regret the clutch decision...I'll try starting out in 2nd gear on the drive home.

Second gear would be worse since you have to try and slip out the clutch more. You just have to get used to it.

That is the clutch chattering, exactly what I described a 6-puck would do on EvoMN. :redface:
