yeah, people might not think so but getting used to an awd stick is a bit different than fwd or rwd setups...its def. a bit less forgiving.

the two wrx's i've driven werent so bad, but thats because i've driven some stiff ass clutches in my time.

i'll see about my coworkers rex, he's putting down at least 300hp, and running a stage 4 something or other clutch. i'll get back to you guys on that one.

it isnt the clutch feel, its more the releae timing and revs and other such small indiscrepencies.

:chuckles: Yeah the shifter is kinda shitty IMO. Clutch has a nice takeup to it but the gearbox could be better. Nothing like a Honda. The gearing also sucks balls.

The grille still bugs me, but congrats on the new ride. :cheers:

If the roads are anything like West LA, I'm sure the longer-travel suspension will be handy. h:
