How's your throttle response with the diff bushings in? I'm thinking of doing diff bushings and motor mounts (and maybe a lightweight flywheel) to mine, if I can convince myself to dump another thousand buck into the car that is!

Yeah it sucks I just fixed this huge paint chip on my c pillar too. This isn't going to be as easy to fix. Haha, you know I'm happy at least there are still some people out there still that realize some people care about there cars. Everyday I feel more and more like people can't respect others property but there are still regular people out there who do.
@mhughett that's a pretty awesome find I want one! |

There's definitely more noise transferred into the cabin but not unbearable. |

UPDATE: Finally installed @GrimmSpeed 's new lightweight crank pulley and I AM A HAPPY CAMPER!
Kudos to GrimmSpeed for such an awesome product! In response to some questions, yes, you do feel an immediate change in the throttle and rev. I, at least for me, see a better response in my shifting. Here's some photos:

Tracked the car today for the first time! Pretty much all stock minus coilovers but it was a blast. High Plains Raceway out here is a great track real solid day. Wish I had some photos ha

Today I washed my poor filthy car. I don't want to admit to how long it's been. But I HAD to wash it so I can take nicer pics of my new wheels. Those went on yesterday. I don't even have a good cell phone pic yet.

Jacked her up and changed her oil to Eneos Sustina!
Can't wait to feel the difference in the drive!

Scooped up an AEM Front Strut Bar and SuperTek Intake pipe and air filter from FT86SpeedFactory during their Black Friday/Thanksgiving sale.
There's a noticeable difference with the strut bar installed, as well as with the master cylinder brace integrated into the bar. Steering and Braking feels improved than before IMO. Also, before the strut bar was installed, I would notice my doors/windows creaking every time I would enter and exit my mildly steep driveway at an angle. The noises have since gone away with the bar. Also, the first mod I ever did to the car after buying it was replacing all bulbs inside and out with LED units from DiodeDynamics. But recently, I ended up purchasing their single color led footwell kits for a little over $16 with the Black Friday sale and the accumulated points I had from past purchases for an extra discount. Kinda wished I got them in red now instead of amber to match the cluster more, but the amber is actually really nice. Doesn't bother my eyes at night while driving and it reminds me of my parents' amber ambient lighting in their 2013 Mercedes E350. Hooked them up to the green wire going to the dome light so I could turn them on whenever. Wanted to tap them into the pink wire on the dome light so that they would turn on/off when the doors were opened or closed, but read somewhere on here that I would have to install an inline fuse so I wouldn't risk frying or blowing the ecu or something along those lines, but maybe later down the road I'll try it. |

Hi all new around here - just installed my Perrin reverse lockout. Feels great, solid glide and no binding at all and looks pretty nice.

Update:
She finally got her new shoes. Added the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's (225/45/17) on stock suspension. Very nice and handles really well. It's raining here right now, but I can't wait to have them tested out in the sunny dry weather.
