I never said its not good bang for your buck. To be honest I don't want to jack this thread and turn it, into a rant session. Im sure the OP would rather see more input that might help him solve the issue, rather than nitpicking.
I am also not a fan of any car that has less than 380lb/tq to provide. So the BRZ would be out of the question for me. but for the emphasis of just going out and having fun at a track or autoX - those low HP/TQ drivers never come off the track without a smile.
I get that the clutch is a wear/tear unit, but what we are seeing is "alleged" design failure from factory. Sure 38K/40K is a bargain for all this power and fun, but the moment you gotta start fixing a "design" flaw, and only seeing 8K miles on the ODO - well that's just silly.
OP - i am sorry if it seems I am jacking your thread. I have said my peace, and I hope you find a solution. I did install the reservoir on my car this weekend, and am keeping an eye out for any imperfections on my clutch/brakes. My brake fluid, was not really as dirty as some of the other guys out here, but it had alot of bubbles from overheating. If I find anything else useful I will let you know.
