  1. Thanks, Yes, I plan to pick up a Haynes soon also. I will check out something to lock the cams, I guess it's like the 5mm pins for a Honda B series cams. Thanks for that tip. Still open for more ideas.
  2. I have 95,000 + miles on my 05 Legacy GT and winter is coming. I'll have 105,000 miles about Jan.I would like to do this myself. I have all the tools except for a lift and garage. Have a 40ft trailer the race car travels in with compressor and tools. Thinking about doing this in a month or so. So is it a straight forward as it looks? Remove the radiator loosen the belt tensioner remove those belts remove crankshaft pulley after setting to TDC remove timing belt covers loosen tensioner replace belt reverse order Anybody have any tips? Thanks
  3. I have about 20,000 miles on my Spec2+. Still chatters every now and then, much like the OEM one when it's damp, humid, or wet. Still breaks the tires loose in 2nd gear when I want. Back in May I stalled the engine on a hill, I pushed the clutch in stepped on the brake. when the engine fired I floored the gas before idle was reached, let the clutch out to slip while the rev's came up, car was moving forward a bit once I saw about 5000 rpm, I just dumped the clutch, the tires broke loose and I was on my way. Stout clutch. I do find in traffic it still tends to grab low, but I just put the tranny in "neutral" and side step the clutch at idle and it's fine for a while, depends on traffic. Over all I still enjoy it, I wanted a clutch that would grab, I didn't want a noodle like the OEM clutch.
  4. Uh, It seems to happen about once or twice a week. The clutch hits nice in 3rd and 4th too. You can hear the rear diff lock up on a good shift. The car diffenetly hooks up to the pavement. I have even felt the car transfer drive when the tires break loose on uneven pavement. Like when some cross streets are a bit higher then the street your on. That is after the light turns green. We have a intersection that is at an angle to the cross street, also have some intersections with sand that I get to play in. Suspension would be the next upgrade to limit the body movement on the shift.
  5. 15,000 miles on my Spec 2+ with LWFW. I find that every now and then I need to give it about 4500rpm and launch the car. Otherwise the chatter comes back. I have Cobb AP Stage1 93 octane. The clutch will still spin tires on the 2nd gear shift. This is the clutch Subaru should have put in the car. The LWFW has it's issues at low rpm, but I feel it's worth the trade for it performance. Has anyone done this clutch with the OEM FW ?
  6. No 60,000. I'm getting ready to do mine for the first time at 50,400 miles. Could be this weekend.
  7. Nobody ever said everything was easy. My 1992 Civic is a breeze to change the plugs on. But the oil filter is a bite of a pain. If they made everything easy to get to, the car would be huge.
