I'm at 30 average since I bought it, better than my previous 23.

Been MIA from the forum. Been doing a lot of fishing.

Nice. Pretty relaxing I take it.

I've been doing...a lot of driving to and from work, oh, and just work all day long

Anyone have a drift-style shift knob like the MTEC? Or the TRD knob? and yeah I'd put a TRD shift knob on my Subaru, fuck the police.

@garfull @Xerious

I highly recommend two clutch pedal mods - lowering the pedal height, and removing the pedal helper spring. They're my favorite mods so far, next to the MTEC springs and TRD quickshifter. Only the pedal mods take less than 10 mins to do both.

The helper spring delete will make the clutch stiffer, and the travel more linear. So if you're used to an STI (GD) or Evo IX clutch, you'll like it.

For the spring, it's recommended to spin the clevis and not the rod itself

By law he should have pulled over. Start honking.

I know a guy in Sacramento. Depending on where you're at, that might be a bit far for dent repair though.

of course by law he should, but no one in California does as "that doesn't apply to me", I was a few cars back otherwise I would have been on the horn.

Funny, that. Egos must be held in check. I take it as a point of pride that I quickly move over when I'm going slowly... which is usually because I have junk in the trunk. Otherwise, get outta my way!

Dude use less then 2 coats. I did 2 coats on a sidemarker and it came out.really dark, dnt forgot to wetsand

Corradooo · 07-21-2014, 08:24 PM

Do 1 light coat, wetsand, 1 light coat, wetsand, polish with compound, if it's not dark enough do 1 more light coat, wetsand, compound, then polish with wax. I did 3 coats then sanded and compounded and it was wayyyy dark and I got pulled over 4 times, and got 2 tickets for it in NY.
