more goodies.

so i cant get the motor torn down till i find some bolts to mount it to the stand.

recieved my twm short shifter and hardware. msp shift knob doesnt fit tho so i'll be looking at something like an ARC TITAN or cheapr blox alternative.

so i've still gotta take some pics but i've installed the twm ss and its amazinggggg!!!
shifts are short and feel fairly precise, i'm gonna drill the rivet out on the transmission side and do the full 4 bushing swap and see how that turns out. still have an occasional drivetrain vibration that makes me nervous, happens at slight steering angle at slow to medium speeds in 1st 2nd and 3rd especially when at slow speed higher gear.

this morning i did a engine flush and oil change, at the same time i replaced the gear oil with lucas synthetic 75w90 and it shifts much quieter, now that the brakes have bedded i'm actually pretty happy with the stopping power. Now i've really gotta get on finishing my wheels and getting them fitted and figure out a proper ride height and stance.

gotta put some more time into getting my seats fitted, really having a hard time getting the seat height i want and now my buddy is bugging me about trying out fixed buckets(minor adjustability in the mount), he owns a little performance shop so he's offering me a pretty good deal.

picked up a new muffler, single tip 2.25 inlet hopefully cleaner sounding then the current twin tip pos.


still haven't found any damn bolts that will work with my stand so i may have to shave the brackets more. ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES MATT GO SOMETHING SOMETHING........

Dunno where you live or if its illegal or not, but you might need a shift pattern visible to the drive. avoid a ticket.
Nice knob tho, i like the color.

Looks good, but does the sippy cup cut down on spillage while driving?
