    Why is the clutch so stiff?

    Evo 9 clutch was nice and stiff. Had a really good feel to it, but it wasn't very grabby (you have to rev to 2k to pretty much move at all), and the catch point was super super high on the clutch ride, like within 1 inch of depression. If I could have MS3 clutch catch point and grab w/ evo 9...

    Why is the clutch so stiff?

    Its not stiff AT ALL.. its like a fkn TC clutch and I hate it. I wish it was stiffer, honestly.. a lot stiffer, at least 50% stiffer. What the other guy said is right.. feels like butter.

    Who here thinks all stock turbos will smoke eventually?

    That's untrue. If it is pandemical, it would be in Mazdas best interest to replace the part(s). The cost of a lawsuit/lawsuits and trying to regain your broken credibility as a competent, responsible automaker far outweighs the combined cost of replacing turbos on specific cars and keeping...

    Is the Transmission the Weak point for the Speed3?

    mm.. I've grinded gears a total of one time w/ this car. And I was double clutch down shifting... Overall, shifting seems crisp, easy, and reliable (after installing TWM shifter bushings) even if I pull out on the clutch a little early. My first gear is a little weird/hard to get in sometimes...

    SRI vs CAI on the DYNO!

    From the dyno, power output seems a bit smoother with it (The SRI).. but that could just be MAF sensor problems w/ the CAI
