LOL

Sorry. Evening drive was derailed by baby

Just woke up, gonna drink my coffee, watch some football, attempt to install my Dension (attempt being the operative word), and then drive the CRAP outta this car

Impressions (and hopefully some video) later today....I promise

Few initial impressions since I picked up the car yesterday:

-GT2 clutch slave conversion/Sachs Stg III racing clutch:

First thought: oh s&*t. I'm never going to make it out of the parking lot It's heavy. No doubt about it. I creeped out and did a few gingerly pulls behind EVO. Engagement is much closer to the floor (which I prefer). Not sure I would say I can feel the engagement point better but slipping it as it engages is easier to modulate despite the significantly increased effort (does that make any sense?). This mod would be very annoying in stop/go traffic. Need to break in the clutch for a few hundred miles, so I haven't killed it yet, but so far, I likey

-It's a 'sleeper'

aside from the mish mash of aero I put on the car, it's a relative 'sleeper'. Nothing to distinguish it from a stock-powered turbo at first glance....oh wait....open up that center console....

Very clean install.

-Very streetable

Aside from the clutch, the street manners of the car really haven't change too much. The power comes on much faster than a stocker, but unless your foot is to the floorboard, it's very controllable.

-Getting on it

I have a few stretches of open road behind the house. Thought I would try to get a better sense of how it felt leadfooting it. Well, I can tell you...I really don't know because I couldn't go more than 3/4 throttle at any point. Although somewhat deserted, any cars in front of me would come up VERY quickly even after giving them a pretty wide berth.
