Hello fellow FiST brother. I know that life. Even totally stock, aggressive accel from a dig was "fun" in the sense that you could only guess if the car was going to shimmy to the left, the right, wiggle in place, or maybe even go forward if you're lucky! I found that a stiff RMM also helped, if...
I agree. I love the looks of my 10th gen. And, to be fair, the looks of the 11th have really grown on me, and I see a lot of potential for great cosmetic modifications, but even the stock look is quite nice in person. I’m excited for the Type R reveal, but I am worried that it may have features...

Valid opinion. I think you are correct about changing the clutch to a sprung disc. I had absentmindedly forgotten that changing to a sprung disc would be "required" with a SMF to keep the car easy to live with, so it's a safe assumption that the clutch has received a fairly substantial design...
I really don't disagree with you that the stock Si clutch is "weak" but I believe it's awfully funny if you really think about it. I mean, before my Si, I owned a Fiesta ST. For all the flaws that car had, the ST's stock clutch really spoiled me. IIRC the Fiesta ST's OEM clutch was produced by...
Although I have no real interest in getting an 11th gen Si for myself, I'm very interested in seeing where this goes. Especially true for seeing how a finalized "canned tune" for the 11th gen may compare to those for the 10th gen. The direct comparison between the 10th and 11th gen Si power...
