At least it will be warm tomorrow. I have a feeling I'll be sore tomorrow night though. On tap for installation tomorrow: - OFH header - Perrin steering rack lockdown - Perrin front control arm brace - Hotchkis strut tower brace - Differential and tranny fluid Since it's supposed to be cold next week I'm not putting the summers on yet, which means I'll be doing the brake fluid flush and other brake maintenance next weekend. Edit: Booked for 1morelap on May 1. @pushrod, you going to be there? |

That's a great model! Don't forget to keep it updated with your mods.
@Pbrown, took the other car out for the first time this spring -- holy horsepower! |

well hopefully everyone took advantage of the nice weather today took my car out for some spring cleaning. Changed the oil, diff and tranny fluid. got my camber set up so the new rim/tires dont rub, mounted the new rims/tires. went for a little spin. washed the car when i got home. cleaned the garage. and took some pictures. that was a busy day!

Nice rims Kenny -- I've got a weakness for the 5-spoke styles.

All my gears actuate smoothly now that's it's all worn in. It is still much stiffer then stock but no more notchiness.

If you are finding that it's really notchy and your having trouble getting in gear then it might that you need to adjust the metal plate that lines up your gears like I said in the write up it could cause difficulty if not placed properly.

Yeah I took careful time to adjust that, trying to find the best spot for 1st and 6th gear engagements and think I have it. Its just a bit tougher entering 5th and 6th now but I figured that could be because of the mtec springs
