No I didn't. Good idea, I'll try that. I think it'll need longer bolts and lock nut. |

No idea why, but using the Quickshifter at all made shifts super notchy. I had to use almost twice the force as I did with the stock shifter even when driving casually. The throw with the STi one is almost the same (teensy bit longer maybe), but it's buttery smooth.
I could have installed it wrong or not torqued it correctly though. I still have it and you got me curious to at least try it out... I'll send you a PM if I ever decide to bite the bullet lol By the way, Permatex Orange gel is some magic shit. Didn't drive anywhere near long enough for the bolt to back out, but I had to use a foot long pry bar to undo and back out the bolt when I was uninstalling it. Highly recommend using it on the Quickshifter for anyone. |

Wish the STI kit wasn't so freakishly expensive compared to the TRD kit.

I actually bought mine used on the forum for 220 and I'd even consider THAT a bit pricey imo (not that I blame the seller, he's a cool guy ) |

Finally put on the HKS catback. With all the heat going on in Ontario with noise tickets, it's a good setup to stay under the radar.

I made this bitchin' heavy duty bike rack for my e-bike. Now I can bring it anywhere. I'll bet this thing could hold a motorcycle, it's so strong. The pipe going into the tow hook holes is schedule 80 steel pipe.

How does the pipe fasten to the tow hook holes? Is it a friction fit, adapted to a threaded stud, or machined threads on the pipe?

Also, not entirely sure how the uprights are constructed, but that seems to be a large moment to be supported by a small amount of thread under longitudinal acceleration. It's clever, just remember to take it real easy with a load on it. |

It starts with a M16x1.5 bolt (the rarest thread pattern in the world) 7 inches long and a nut. Cut off the head of the bolt and bevel the end slightly. Thread on the nut. Put it in the freezer. Get a 6" piece of 1/2" EMT (metal electrical conduit). Deburr the ends. Put it in a vice and heat it up. Take the bolt out of the freezer and pound it into the conduit. Once it cools it's a press fit but I welded it just to make sure. Now get a 1' piece of 3/4" schedule 80 steel pipe threaded on each end. Cut it in half. It will slide perfectly over the bolt/conduit piece. My first idea was to thread the bolt/conduit into the tow hook hole and slide the 3/4" pipe over it and pin it. But it wasn't sturdy enough, so I welded it to the bolt/conduit. So essentially you have a solid steel rod 1" thick with a 3/4" tapered pipe thread on one end and a M16x1.5 thread on the other. Oh, by the way I had to open up the hole through the rear of the car about .001 (unibit) so the pipe fits tightly into the hole. Then I screwed on the angles and pipe pieces. When I got the angles just right, I loctited the angles to the Schedule 80 pipe with red loctite. So that angle is fixed. The rest is pretty much self explainatary.

I don't slide around turns with the bike on like I usually do, but it's pretty secure. The uprights are schedule 40 3/4" steel pipe. The cross supports are a piece of that stuff they use on chain link fence to secure the ends. It's pretty strong. They are connected to the pipes using 1 1/4" conduit clamps bent to fit. They are also screwed together where they cross. So when one is pushing the other is pulling. My biggest concern is the bungy cords breaking. |
