Whiteline shifter bushing installed yesterday.

Didn't really drive the car hard today, but it definitely looked like there was less wobble.

Also, if you are going to install this bushing, follow the 5 minute DIY which only requires removing one bolt and one nut. Piece of cake compared to the one which requires you to remove the entire OEM bushing.

Crap. Over a week for a new caliper bracket (needs to come from Cali), will need to get it drilled out I guess.

This may be your free pass from the wife to upgrade!!!

Nope. She told me "So, what have we learned? If it's not broke, don't fix it."

LOL

jvincent · 07-02-2014, 01:45 PM

LOL indeed.

My wife gave me the "What are you doing to your car now?" look yesterday when she poked her head in the garage.

Wow that's harsh! Did you happen to follow her comment with " but the red looks soooo much better and adds 8 hp and 5lb ft of tourque.

Bracket fixed, got bolt extracted with a bit of heat to help it. Thanks to (another forum) member! Good to have virtual friends.

Btw, I am getting 30 more FT86club.com stickers printed, and 15 that are double the size of the current ones.

Let me know if you want some and what size. I can also increase the order quantities if there is more interest.

Looks like this: 8" wide (current) and 14" wide - available on white vinyl only

Hey, anyone in the area have or know of someone locally running the nameless muffled track pipe?? Hearing that the full muffler delete is not ''that'' loud, i'm really considering this due to the price, but definitely need to hear in person. thanks

I have a Private Label muffler delete.

Honestly for under $100 you can't ask for better. There's a drone between 2300rpm and 2600rpm with the windows up. That's my only complaint. Sounds great. Not too loud. I've had cops around and not even give a second glance.

7k rpm sounds glorious is tunnels too
