VERY nice build choices so far. Car looks great. Tastefully done.

Regarding the Perrin tranny mount, would it help if you applied some sorbothane (soft polyurethane) between the tranny and the perrin tranny mount? I always wondered if the metal to metal contact causes the irritating noise that many have complained about. If not sorbothane... perhaps another polyurethane to isolate the metal to metal contact.

It's not from tranny as I found out rather an amplification of the rear diff. Now thing with Perrin T is there is zero extra room in carrier to add anything else to try to tame. With whiteline it doesn't exist so I'm not going to bother to re address exacts on why Perrin transmits more. In regards to adding more mlv etc that would only be effective on portions behind the driver due to how we hear basically.

I bought the mitec springs, kart boy tranny mount insert (same as whiteline), perrin rear shifter bushing, and Motul 300 for the diff...will get redline MTL for the tranny... very similar to your set up...can you please let me know how you like shifting now? I still have to get my car done...

Regarding the Perrin T, I wonder if using a mill and taking off a little bit to make room for rubber insert so you can get the vertical support as well as the lateral from the whiteline insert...but that's just theories...if you are happy with it...that's good to know.

Ya I got not interested in messing with the Perrin solution. I have friends that done both the Perrin and Kartboy or Whiteline mount together and the NVH was rediculous.

I'm 100% pleased with the shifting feel overall for sure. The springs were an awesome mod for sure as well.

No driving happening as the snow builds deeper by the day

Got the FA20 Club P3 Integrated Guage in so decided recently to install it.
Found some great tips and help here for tapping into the parking light wire behind the drivers side kick panel. This is not an adjustable dimmer but rather just dims when you put on parking or driving lights. I feel I'll be very pleased with this Guage as it has great options overall. Here are pics and video of the Guage in operation.





Picture shared from another member "eck04" to display which wire to tap the P3s "green wire" into. Tap into the (Parking Wire) Under advisement I as well did a military splice to engage the connection.




Here is a video just quickly passing through some of the readings and functions of this gauge.

Here is a video showing the dimming once the P3s Guage green wire is tapped into the cars parking wire.

Winter slow mod season as she sits..

Got this TRD back window piece in other day. "Supposed" to keep air from basically parachuting the trunk or boot as euros call it. A nice looking little cosmetic anyhow. got it from Japan Parts

[SkAsphalt]

So when men talk about sexy little lips, I assume they mean that TRD part

I
mean buy lol

[turbos86]

Nice looking piece. Might I ask how much did it end up costing you to get it to Alberta?

[OICU812]

Rear window piece can be had on japan parts. By time to door almost 200, so depending where you live ymmv.

[OICU812]

Well finally got my seat dramas done lol. Took out all my seats, going to apply some MLV below where back seats are. In that process ordered the GT86 rear leather with red stitch armrest, nice little piece. Next update will be new seats and leather

Interesting build thread.
I quite like the choice of some of your mods.
I find it surprising you like the Whiteline KDT926 over the Perrin T mount(I'm using a CUSCO/Perrin T combo myself) as when I had the 926 on, it would be less noise but more vibration. I don't mind the noise much, just the vibration lol.

Also with the DSS CF shaft, that noise could be due harmonic vibration. As you know the stock DS is two piece which helps remove part of that vibration and noise. Maybe try the whiteline diff insert to see if that helps.

Your car must rev quickly like crazy though with the pulleys and CF DS. I couldn't imagine a car with all the trick I/H/E and weight removal stuff(flywheel, lightweight forged 16's, pulley, CF drive shaft, intake mods and full exhaust) would go.

I really like how you removed the rear seats, I've yet to do that myself. Will be handy for track days.
Do you have any more additional pics of your seat removal? Would be much appreciated.

No I don't have more pics sorry. But honestly bottoms and primary back seat are stupid easy to remove 5 mins. 4 bolts total and minimal effort to toss aside. In removing the back bottoms each side has bolt on front, push back part down and pull forward after front bolt out they come out in a jiff. The main back portion has bolts on back, 1 each side low corner remove and take seat out of 180 caster holder.
