I am not really setup for it, but I can definitely make it work. But, I may just let a shop install the clutch.

Then EBSC here I come.

But, don't be afraid to start pushing your car.
I beat the hell out of my '15 BRZ. Redlined every gear, since day one. I did all regular maintenance but after 24k miles that motor felt worn. The motor eventually became noisy, and sometimes had knocking sounds at 3-4k rpm. So, i'm going to be a little more gentle with this one. But, to each their own.
