Looks like you've been busy doing some nice mod$ in between them pager calls!!

Edit: Just did some homework on the Motul Gear 300 GL4/GL5. Used for "racing gearboxes" and differentials. Oh well. Hopefully the GL5 rating will not impact yellow metals in the tranny as claimed by Motul. Our Manf. Specs call for using a GL3 but, that is an outdated rating and most MT oils are GL4s. I've read articles indicating GL5 used in transmissions will prematurely wear out brass on the syncros. FYI.

I have read so much material about the GL-4 versus GL-5 and brass metals/gear boxes that I cant take it anymore. I finally decided after reading and hearing from everyone that has made the switch to either the Motul or Pentosin it should be fine. I mean one it GL-4/GL-5 rated (Motul) and the other is the incorrect weight compared to what the manual suggests (Pentosin), so who knows...I take my chances. Let us know how it shifts when you swap out the Redline.

Motul is shifting smooth as predicted. Even less vibration in the gear shift knob now, I cant get over how quite everything is now. After doing Eneos Sustina 0w20 and now Motul 300 75w90 there is little to no "notchyness" shifting gears now.

I use to have some very minor fluctuations in the RPM when sitting still at idle or coasting in neutral, that has all but resolved as well. Could be completely unrelated to the above mentioned upgrades...but regardless I am happy I swapped said fluids.

^^ That's Great! Pentosin 75W-80 arrives on Wed. so hope I have favorable results, too, when I get it swapped out. Looking forward to the claims of "butter smooth" shifting!! We shall see! I'm about due for another engine oil change so have to get some more Sustina lined up. Did you find yours locally or didya order it? NAPA sells the regular Eneos but, apparently not the Sustina last time I checked. Let me know if you have a lead on a good deal somewhere!! Thanks!

Edit....Missed seeing some of ya'll at Coffee & Rides today! LINK TO GALLERY

Below is what is left for sale, instead of me putting a price on what I want you all make me an offer (serious offer, if you offer me a bag of skittles I'll take them and run). I am more flexible on my prices with you all than someone who isn't local.

@dpgdave I can't make it out today but I wanted to post this for you


It's just the two rectangular holes, if you disconnect the battery and run it like this the dash air bag light will go off. The passenger airbag light will remain on because the connecter to the weight sensor isn't getting a signal. There may be a way to run a resistor for that as well but I would doubt the Impedance value of these resistors are correct for that.

@Ricepuddin how many miles were put on the coils and how much?
I have a friend that might be interested.

Anyone have advice on an UEL header? Since I have the Evo3 exhaust I'm tempted to wait for GReddy and get their header to match up parts, but there isn't a whole lot of info on it. After watching some videos on other peoples headers I'm itching to get something.

Plugged the sound tube in the cabin. Temporary fix until I order a Perrin inlet tube later this week!!
