Do you have to wear gloves when playing with the knob?

Edit:

Do you mean when it's hot outside or am I getting whooshed with a joke? lol.

In case you meant when it's hot out.. Yeah, today it was 92 degrees F when I left to go grab lunch. I forgot last night to put the velvet pouch over the knob when I parked. So it was pretty blazing hot until the AC cooled down the interior enough, so I just used the velvet pouch to cover it for shifting until it cooled enough.

But to be fair, the steering wheel I brought back from Japan last year also gets pretty dang hot. :\

Took mine to Massachusetts to pick up a set of wheels for the project 944 I got last week. Great driving car and reminds me very much of the BRZ in the way it goes about its business.

Muffer Delete

Finally started some mods on my car. After a year of having it bone stock. I made a video. not trying to sell anyone on my youtube channel. Simply excited to share how much fun I had putting a muffler delete on the car. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I have.

Changed wheel setup and installed springs this weekend. Just needs an alignment now but I'm really happy with the results. I was skeptical with the high offset on 245 but my calculations were correct and it's basically equivalent to a 17x9 +38 or +35 setup. Plenty of space between the perch and enough for a BBK.

Eibach Sportline on factory struts
SPC Front bolts and Rear LCA

ESR SR07 17x8.5 +30
245/40 Federal ST-1
Project Kics hardware: Hub rings, valve stems and R40 Iconix lug nuts
