Nope The new clutch won't be broken-in in time. These Kevlar discs seem to be ultra sensitive to break-in so I'm not willing to risk it. Now if someone wants to let me borrow their Evo... I will be in attendance for at least spectating though and plan to come up with a few others who will most likely run.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...

I got my car back tonight with the new clutch and its feeling good so far. After about 10k on my previous clutch the TOB took a crap and destroyed the pressure plate in the process. MAP worked with Competition and got a replacement Stage 3 sent at no charge, and Comp even reimbursed MAP for the labor. Thanks to MAP for getting this taken care of and thank you to Competition for really standing behind their product and doing what it takes to make the customer happy. Competition has had numerous Evo TOB failures so they are now recomending the use of an OEM Mitsu TOB instead so hopefully this fixes the issue. So far after driving it for an evening it seems the OEM TOB is much quieter than the Comp TOB which is a good thing since the clutch no longer rattles on decel.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...

While I was away on my honeymoon I had Primo powdercoat my radiator brackets in gloss black and my hood damper brackets in gloss white so that adds a few small finishing details to my underhood appearance which makes me happy!

So did I. I have a Cusco strut-tower brace on back-order right now and was wondering if some of the other braces would be worthwhile. Sounds like a good project to add to my list for the Spring.

I'm assuming that they just bolt on using stock bolt locations, yes?

Yup, the chassis braces just attach to factory bolt holes.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...

While Scheides was here two weekends ago we decided to go ahead and remove the evap charcoal canister system since we've been talking about attempting it for almost a year. Once removed I'm guessing it saves about 10 lbs. and the car runs just as good as it always has. This was the final emissions system left on my car

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...

My SpoolinUp COP setup arrived today so I threw it on and went for a test drive a little bit ago. It uses used (~60k mile JDM take-offs) Toyota (made by Denso) coils. I kept my stock (46k miles) spark plugs in for now and plan to replace them tomorrow with some Denso IKH24 plugs. The car seems to run and drive very smooth, but I can't honestly say the COP made any noticeable difference like a lot of people on EvoM are claiming. One of the coil plugs also rubs on my o2 sensor plug which I'm not real thrilled about. It sure does look nice though Once I get the plugs replaced tomorrow I'll do a better job of routing and tucking the wires.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...

I believe these are actually the Celica coils, but I think Scheides kit has the Prius coils.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...

Did you register your car in Texas? If so, you had better keep that emissions stuff because they do emissions testing every year. Looks good though!

It still has MN plates on it, but there are ways of passing the emissions testing The WRX is catless and we already got it inspected and registered.

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...

*update*
After some more driving around the car does seems to be accelerating from a stop and driving at low RPM (<2000) a bit smoother. Its tough to say if thats due to the COP or my 46k miles plug wires and boots being due for replacement. I'll change the spark plugs tomorrow as soon as the FedEx man arrives and report back then!
