The wiper mod is a great idea, but upon giving it a shot i realized that our cars have defroster lines for the wiper blades to rest on. It's a great little aesthetic mod if you don't live in a state with harsh winters though. My wiper blades actually weren't resting on those lines so this actually helped me!
Did you order the clutch stopper shown here? I just ordered one from him for my 2019 WRX. It's on its way. I'm excited to use it, I am just a little bit worried that it might cause some clutch damage. How can we be sure that the clutch will still be fully disengaged with this stopper?
@@dariushalmi1887 sorry man just noticed this. It's been working out great! I can't imagine going back to driving the car without it. I'm sure by now you've installed yours.. any thoughts?
@@joshuawood6644 hey there, could you guys please shed any insight you have on this clutch stop block? My 19 WRX clutch is not good, the stopper would probably make a big improvement... Any other advice? Thanks!
@@clintonross1649 Get it. I've been using it since it came in the mail. It definitely helps make the grab point more predictable. I have no complaints!!!
Nope, this is definitely Subaru's way of trying to make the car more "civilized". Driver's height should never matter once you adjust the seat and the wheel positions. Ideally, all 3 pedals should be somewhat even so you're equidistant from them and don't feel like you're trying to reach for something when pressing in the clutch. Mine are close to even now, but only after adding all the bits that I made.
then your grab point is near the floor, you don't need this little stopper. If it's not shifting smoothly, then it's possible you could've adjusted the master wrong. You should not mess with any of that stuff near the pedal, there is nothing really to adjust other than just tightening it slightly.
Is there anyway you can show a quick tutorial on how to adjust that blue start up switch when installing this stopper so I can make sure I'm doing it correctly?
I get a lot of questions on this stopper and where to buy it, etc. Email me via my site email or hit me up on IG if you want to order one. I don't stock them, but I can make them upon request. I still have mine in my car and it's been over a year now and it looks the same as when I installed it. Fyi, the price goes up and down slightly depending on the amount of stoppers I am doing at one time and the time I have to do it. The quality does not change.
man i wished you lived near me lol i love what you do with carbon .Ive noticed this lately too i have to adjust my seat closer to the wheel cause i have to stretch my leg fully straight for the clutch to touch the floor i'm not sure what other way i could do a similar mod like yours without carbon piece you made
The wondering clutch grab point gets to me every time I drive my 2020 STI, I cant get used to it. Im afraid of using a clutch stopper as my dealerships mechanic said this would cause grinding of the friction plate/ flywheel or am I just being told this to avoid legalities????
yeah, they are talking about something else entirely. The stopper I make just reduces the travel in between the grab point and the floor, it does not mess with the area where the engagement happens. Most likely they hear the word clutch stopper and freak out. It's actually a larger pedal bump stop rather than a clutch stopper. And it would resolve your issues with the grab point instantly.
sweet, i've been debating removing the badges on my black wrx, but wasn't sure how it would look- now i have a better idea! Some tinted tail light over lay ( the second darkest option on amazon) for the reverse part of the tail light makes the back-end of that car look so good, I have it on mine. Also, what kind of Rainx spray was that?
the vinyl definitely changes the look. I ended up getting it for my car to replace the red ones and I like it way more now. This rainx spray is just some detailer spray, nothing special and smells strong like cologne. It's pleasant at first, but I can see myself getting sick of it fast. My favorite sprays are the griott's garage ones which have super pleasant scents, and the turtle wax interior detailer (there are two: one smells too strong and the other in blue bottle is perfect). I am super picky about this stuff, so I end up going through a bunch just to narrow it down to a few products and then stick to them.
Do you sell those? I'm like 5'3 and find that exact annoyance. By time my left can reach the stop, my right is too close to gas pedal. Causes much random flawed jerky shifting
For one, you should not do that at a light. For two, no it doesn't increase the wear as the plates are fully disconnected. You didn't watch the video fully as I explained this there.
TheShaddix I prefer to not put the car in neutral at every light. That's stupid the fact of the matter is you do sometimes need to push the clutch in all the way. If not, you wouldn't even need this mod. It's not good for the car. And not it's not completely engaged when you mess with the travel length. I did watch the video by the way lol love your channel! You got the best tips and you have awesome unique mods. I really appreciate your channel brotha. I did that wiper mod. I saw your previous video that talked about it and wanted to do it, and I was psyched to see this video showing how to do it
Michael DeFilio ok I agree but at stop signs you kind of have to. You have to fully press the pedal when you use it. Like in drive thrus, and shifting even. It's not good for the car and he throwout bearing and it isn't fully disengaged. Period.
If your WRX has the all weather package (I believe premium and up), it contains wiper deicers. They are located on the bottom of the OEM windshield. If you look closely you can see a trace of the deicing units where the wipers would rest. Shifting the rest position of the wipers would negate this feature. But if you live where there is no snow or ice , I guess it doesn't matter.
@@MiguelPoblete to be honest with you this little "fix" made such a nice difference on my car, I personally would never revert back to stock even if it hindered the de-icing feature. I'd just de-ice them myself somehow. It's only a problem if you park it outside where it snows. Just having wipers stick out like that was driving me nuts. To each their own, but keeping my car practical was not my intent when I got it, otherwise I would've kept it stock-ish.
Then I'd do the same fix if I had an Evo. This works on all cars. I drove an sti recently and there is nothing short about the travel. This fix deals with the wasted travel.
@@TheShaddix I just traded in my evo x for a 19 STI. Evo had much long clutch travel and grabbed up heigh. The STI has a very short travel and seems to grab right off the floor so wasnt sure wth you guys were talking about lol
@@jfnurod well, then they changed the grab point on the 2019. On my 2018 wrx and also a 2015 sti the grab point is really far from the floor, especially the sti. Why did you trade your Evo for an sti?
@@TheShaddix Honestly it was a bit crazy for daily use and was barley driving it. Even after demodding it I was getting 180 miles out of a full tank. My STI only has 200 miles on it clutch might just need to seat in but def is grabbing right off the floor.
@@jfnurod It could also be that you're used to the Evo clutch and think that the sti is way shorter. I drove a 2018 sti, but I don't remember how the clutch felt.

Thanks for the awesome video. Little tweaks here and there makes a huge difference.
For sure! I've made these little stoppers for a few people already and they are all happy with the results.
@@TheShaddix are you still selling?
Great quality product and completely changes the way the car feels!

Has this ever been tested on the VB chassis
Yes, and it works the same way but sticks to the pedal itself rather than the floor base.
Jist stumbled upon this. Any chance you still make these stoppers?
Yes, just email me to theshaddix@gmail.com
wow, I thought it was just me being short, noticing the the uneven feel between the clutch and the gas pedal
Nope, this is definitely Subaru's way of trying to make the car more "civilized". Driver's height should never matter once you adjust the seat and the wheel positions.

@@TheShaddix What do you mean by more civilized?
@@thecasuallongsword comfortable for longer drives.
Keep up the vids, cant wait to get mine next year.
Brian Perez me too
Nice work man!
What if I have to push way down to disengage clutch? Already replaced slave and master,bleed and adjusted master way out. Still not shifting smooth
then your grab point is near the floor, you don't need this little stopper. If it's not shifting smoothly, then it's possible you could've adjusted the master wrong. You should not mess with any of that stuff near the pedal, there is nothing really to adjust other than just tightening it slightly.
@@TheShaddix i only backed off the part that goes from peddle to master
This is an awesome mod. You should sell these!
Yeah, I make them upon request, I just have no way to advertise them. If you have suggestions, let me know.
TheShaddix you could use something like squarespace to sell them. I bet the help of your channel getting bigger would make you more money too.
@@surrey5 thanks man! I'll look into that one
@@TheShaddix - reach out to a company like Boomba and see if they’d partner.
Is there anyway you can show a quick tutorial on how to adjust that blue start up switch when installing this stopper so I can make sure I'm doing it correctly?
Don't touch the blue switch. If you bought the stopper from me, you should have detailed instructions. Read them carefully.

You can try a bolt and a rubber hat. I tried that first but mine lasted about a week and wore out. That's why I made my cf bit.
Hey there, any other advice regarding sourcing parts at the local hardware store to fix this issue? Or is the carbon block the only real solution?
Any suggestions as far as a gas pedal spacer ? Similar to the verus one but a DIY

You could do a video on your recommendations for cleaning/detailing products
10/10 mods I knew of ur stopper for awhile but never thought of the wippers so much cleaner I'll be doing both for sure!
When are you accepting orders again for a clutch stopper?
just dm me on IG
TheShaddix awesome man! Will do
hey TheShaddix where could i get those clutch stopper

wont this increase clutch wear when you have it pushed in as far as you can at a light and hold it there? It wont be fully pressed

Yes, but only for small stuff. Check my site Www.craftechdesign.com
Can you still start the car with the clutch stopper?
you have to adjust the starter switch to compensate for it. Mine comes with instructions on how to do all that
Are the wiper blades still on the deiceing grids?
the wiper blades are still on the windshield about half an inch below where they used to be. Not completely sure about the whole de-icing feature.
If your WRX has the all weather package (I believe premium and up), it contains wiper deicers. They are located on the bottom of the OEM windshield.
