The revs are quick from the Raceseng Pulley kit and Aluminum Driveshaft. I noticed some shaky mirror vibrations at high speed, but that's likely from the aluminum shaft. I'll rotate it 90 degrees when I install the short shifter next weekend...

The install was easy. I had some "dumb" moments, but it was expected as I'm no car mechanic...
well, you've basically sold me on the jackson sc.

Installed the TRD Quick Shifter

Huge difference in shortening re throws and stiffing everything up. Needs to break in a bit as the effort to move the stick is a little more than stock.

It replaces the shift bushing setup and really makes a difference.

Drive it for awhile. Decide how you're going to be using it. Read the technical forums. By then you'll know what parts and power to add. By the way welcome.

You should look at how it works with a SC. I remember originally reading that it may have trouble working with any kind of FI, in the first few pages. I haven't looked since though

I'll definitely need a new tune...

I might do it when I decide to go E85. I'll add injectors and a fuel pump too...

Mo parts! Mo parts!

Picked up some new front turn signals. I liked the switch backs, but these look a lot cleaner IMO.
