The fire looked pretty decent!
I got out and watched a couple of stages. Managed to catch the WRC guys while they were waiting for the next stage.
Sorry images are pretty large!
Had a similar sounding issue with my last V7 Sti, the clutch peddle felt a little fuzzy/buzzy when coming in and out haha Hard to explain but yeah sounds similar.
I did 25,000kms with it and didn't have any issues but I did notice that the issue came and went and wasn't there the whole time. I thought it may have had something to do with the fact my clutch fluid tank thing didn't have a heat shield on it and was exposed to heat from the Siamese downpipe
My old V7 Sti spiked to this boost once I put an exhaust on it. Not ideal, I just tapped boost back down to 16psi where it was supposed to be. Couldnt have been good for it! Does yours run 23psi right through the rev range? Or just spike and then settle down near 14psi ish.
They are great cars, I bought mine before Christmas after having owned most of the other models eg V5, V7 Sti's and V4 Sti RA and like the V8 Sti the best. I paid $18,250 for mine its done 100,000ks completely standard, very mint and tidy only 1 minor scratch on the whole car etc. So yeah pretty pricey compaired to paying $14k for a similar V7 Sti but I think its worth it!
I have a mate you could be keen on this;

Anyone know anything about this car. I seem to remember it on trademe back in the day, think it was from Invers or down that way
Any thoughts on it?
