Yeah baby !
How warm & unforgettable having the new parked next to the old . . . the st162R still looks good from here ! The metallic sparkle of the grey in the sunlight looks awesome ! I reckon you will find that within 5-10K the gearbox will loosen & loose that notchiness - it's just that it's new. Remember, don't baby it, just enjoy it - sensibly.

I actually love the notchiness. (is that even a word) , it's already started to loosen up. At 280km's now.
Sure beats my blown box in the celica. Single synchro, that is known for 2nd gear issues. @Nezz group buy custom bracket http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15411 @Tornado Ordered mid march Last edited by st162celica; 09-25-2012 at 09:27 AM. Reason: Typo |
