New clutch (and flywheel) arrived today. It will be installed on Thursday by Danny Treece at City Limits Motors (former Subaru dealership mechanic). This is apparently the guy who replaced Kunk's tranny (correct me if I'm wrong). I will report on how good a job he does when I spank everyone on the 12th

. It could happen...really...

That's the place I was thinking of. I couldn't remember the name.

Yup, that's the way I found it. I found the high school and looked beside it. Of course, that didn't work quite right, and I almost ended up with a double-wide (nice porch though).

Those are good guys there.
They came and picked up my completely stripped (wheel-less) wrecked WRX for free after I was done with it.
Hope the install goes well.

UPDATE: The clutch is in and it's great! Total budget- $800 for clutch/flywheel combo from Boxer4racing + $263 (including tax) for installation from City limits motors = $1063.

As great as this upgrade is, I would have rather spent the money on some suspension/tires and wheels. The car is much easier to rev match when downshifting (not necessary for auto-x, but might be useful for when I start roadracing

) and the increased torque capacity is a necessary expense with the engine upgrades (current and future

). The most noticeable change is that my car cranks like a sportbike now.
