This is absurd.

First off. D-Wolf IS A NASIOC VENDOR. Stop giving him grief. He isn't coming on our boards going "OMG GUYZ CHECK OUT THIS NEW PART FOR SALE EMAILZ ME FOR DATAILZ! K!"

He obviously is trying to solve a problem for our car community and the community is giving him grief.

I say good job D-Wolf, thanks for trying something new. Im sure other cost effective options are available, however I will PURCHASE from a nasioc vendor before I go out to home-depot and do it that way.

Call it a loss of 42 dollars but i'd rather support the vendor and community then home depot.

Just my .2c

Thanks for the good words Engmus
If I had thought an cheaper fix was as reliable I wouldn't have put this much effort into this kit.
I know people will like this product if they just try it, so I'm going to start a try it for 2 weeks money back offer thread in the vendor classified forums.

Good news!
We have now fit a D-Wolf kit installed to a '08 WRX.
There is a small difference in the adjustment of the clutch interlock switch VS the '07 WRX but that's all.

Oh you're releasing pictures this time around and being less secretive? Interesting...I guess after things didn't go over so well with the VQ35 community you've had a chance of heart?

For those that are interested in doing a little reading:

The controversy:
http://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=278666
http://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=163723

The G35/350z fix:
http://g35driver.com/forums/showthre...ght=clutch+kit


Cliff's Notes: The same, or similar kit was released for the 350z/G35 community under a lot of secrecy. No pictures were displayed, and no info was released on how it worked, other than it fixed clutch travel. People bought it and liked it, but of course things were leaked, and come to find out that the exact same thing could be accomplished for a buck or two, and a trip to home depot, and that this really wasn't that new of an idea.

I doubt that the fix is exactly the same, but it is probably close. Somebody could likely post a similar DIY thread. If you feel like like supporting D-Wolf, fine, as that is your perogative...but just be informed that this is nothing that has been developed specifically for the Subie community and is in no way innovative. People have been doing this for years.

All in all, this is like shelling out $55 for a restrictor mod.

This is your typical 19 year old e-thug blasting garbage out of his mouth because he has nothing better to do.

sconniescoob have you tried my kit? --- no!

Are you aware that weve sold over 150 kits for the G35 and 350Zs? ---- probably not!

Are you aware that there hasn't been one customer complaint or returned item? NO --- because the kit perform exactly as I say it will!!!

Other than jerks like you that want something for nothing there hasn't been a single complaint!

And finally, are you aware that I'm so confident in my product I'm offering a money back try it for 2 weeks offer?

I have no plans to expand at this time except to continue testing on the '08 WRX.

The'08 WRX testing is done and it will be added to the list on our brochure!
We've also successfully tested on 1995 and 2000 Imprezas!
Great response, especially from the group at the SubieTech picture day!

I've been informed that TMT magazine will have a review of the
D-Wolf kit in their December issue, due out on 12/17.

I'm also told that Danny From EDO Performance is writing a review of the unit I installed in his car (coming soon)!

I've had this kit for a few weeks now and it makes it SO much easier to drive my WRX. The stock pedal just has way too much travel and ever since I've had the car I've had difficulty engaging the clutch smoothly.

For how basic the kit is, it's very well made between the machine work, instructions, etc. Probably a little too well made for what it does .
The kit was cake putting on, but adjusting the sensor was a pain in the ass to adjust for me. It may have to do with me doing it in 20 degree weather with my hands going numb, heh.

Overall I'm real happy with the kit. I'd say it's a bit expensive for what it is, but it's worth it in my opinion. It's designed well and I gotta compliment D-Wolf on being intuitive and making a product that fixes a big problem with our cars.

Okay..call me unoriginal...I'm just speechless when it comes to great products that will leave a lasting impression on my driving experience. So I copied and pasted my review from the sale thread.

It simply made my driving experience much more enjoyable. The unnecessary play in the clutch was eliminated, and being able to move the seat back a notch gave some freedom to the movement of my arms.

I'd recommend the D-Wolf clutch kit to anyone out there, and Terry's shown the superb customer service to be there for his customers and assist them when needed. Awesome guy, awesome product!

And seriously, with this 2-week money back guarantee, you really can't go wrong!

EDO Performance

EDIT: Thanks again Terry! If anyone is thinking about this kit...I say just go for it! EDO Approved!

I've been eyeing this thing for a while now. I just might dive in for one of these soon. Waiting for my tranny to get fixed and new clutch to go in to see how the car feels first. If the new clutch is anything like my current one I will be ordering this.

wow I just finished reading that post on the g35/350z forum and I can't believe the guy that made the post shooting down your idea. That cheap diy fix they posted looks so ghetto. D-wolf's kit looks legit and looks like it isn't going to break or just fall off.

Yea, this kit will definitely stay in place. Between the set screw and the double-sided tape, it's not going anywhere.

I'd just like to add again how much easier it makes the car to drive with this kit. I was really fed up with the clutch travel before and this made me love the car again . The clutch should feel like this from the factory.
