bough a new shift knob off Ft86motorsports, $200 for a shift knob is PRICEY!! But it fit in my hand a lot better and the weight helps a ton with shifting

Beautiful build! Seems like your really enjoying the car!

The Bride seats are also incredible! Wow

By the way, regarding the TRD shift knob. I'm actually planning to get it, do you by any chance remember if it is the same weight as stock? Or is it lighter/heavier?

& the replacement shift knob you got is definitely great. I've experience it on a buddies car and it is very smooth and much better than stock.

thank you, yes after 2 year i do still love it.

TRD is actually 2-3 times lighter than OEM, im not sure about the replica ones out there because there seem to be a lot of them around

I loved it for a while because shifting was very notchy and direct, very good knob imo for street/spirited driving, the shape is weird so it take some times to get use to it.

Just signed up for PITL Autocross #4.

My front tires sidewall shoulder are pretty worn after 4 track days/2 autocross event.

I'm thinking about swapping the rear to the front before the event

Also I still haven't dial in the perfect PSI to run these Firestone Indy 500 on an autocross course.

I will probably set it at 33 PSI all around and go from there.

no future plan for the car until next summer.

I've been toying with the idea of selling my JDL UEL Catless header along with my OFT.

I need cash for new pad/rotors and 1-2 more track day

and going taking off the header would put me back into A stock.
