Ran into @babydriver this morning at DIY. It was good to meet you. How does the new shifter bushing feel? My rear tranny mount was super quick to install and it felt great to drive home - it has a tighter and more accurate notchy feel now. I was considering the part you did next. Let me know if you feel a good difference.

I have the perrin rear shifter bushing and the white line positive shift kit. Along with swapping fluid, the shifts are more crisp and there is more noise. Certainly stiffer and less sloppy.

I liked it a lot! Much tighter and a more secure feel to the entire drive train. It will significantly increase your NVH though; it is as if I placed a stethiscope on the gears. I don't mind it but it could drive other crazy.

Here is a link to an image of the part:

Great to meet you, Semprini!

are you going back to stock and selling??

It's with Edge Addicts. I think I get 5 sessions, 20-25 mins a piece. The event takes place on Sunday (the 5th). Free to spectators if you want to stop by. There'll be all types of cars out. Usually quite a few Ferrari's etc.

I bought a dedicated track set of wheels/tires/brake pads for this event and future events also.

It's about $500-$600 with Edge Addicts. Chen Motorsports also does some events occasionally (they rotate tracks in Texas if you want to experience some other ones as well).

If anyone is interested I have a set of eibach springs I'd be willing to give away for free in Austin.

Only catch is they're attached to the car so you'd need to help ( lets me honest, you'd be doing and I'd be helping because I'm a car retard ) swap them back out for the stock set I have.

My driveway is a bit too steep and I need the ground clearance back.

Car's just about back to stock minus a few items I won't sell like my headlights, HID's, foglights, tail lights. Lots of high quality parts I'm selling.
