cant say i have noticed much difference to be honest, although i dont often get the chance to drive other cars. I would have thought they would have been a little heavier in comparison to regular every day cars.

What are we talking about here?? scoobys??

MY94 WRX was light as a feather just as it should be.In some cars if the clutch is hard then it's a sighn it's going or it's got a hard paddle clutch in.BUT in some cars if the clutch is light it can mean it's going.

Mine's (MY94 WRX) as light as a feather aswell, and brand new. Noticed it slipping the other night though. Most peculiar as i'm only running full decat. Overboosting?

Clutch on our MY05 WRX was for me a bit heavier than our outgoing car; a CTR .... but nothing too bad at all and certainly nothing like our other car; a TVR Griffith - now that IS heavy..... with a gearchange to match !

Good. People speak of over-boosting like it's a problem. Personally i wish it did it all the time.
Mind you it can't spike above 1.19 Bar can it due to an inbuilt overboost protection facility?

overboosting is when you hit the boost limiter hence the engine dies until you take your foot off the pedal...what does the 94 wrx boost to standard?? and whats the limit on the ecu before you hit overboost???

About 11p.s.i and 1.19 Bar respectively (unless you have a 3 Bar map sensor fitted).
