How was the install on the Radium Catch Cans? Mine should be here in a few days. I picked up the master cylinder brace as well.

Also curious on what you think about how the car drives after getting it back from Drift Office.

I love your mods list my main question is how much of a difference did you notice once you installed the drive shaft, how did it affect the driving of the car

Both of them were with 92 Octane, ECUTek. The first one was our calibration pre-intercooler install. The second was a custom calibration from @moto-mike, which I strongly recommend all who have the Innovate setup to at least get a calibration from.

I couldn't figure out why the setup was wigging out after the IC was installed and only after conferring with Mike @ Moto-East was it then I was told that it was an issue everyone was seeing (it's in the Innovate owner's thread) and that the stock MAP sensor was needed to fix this.

I had previously spent over 2 weeks trying to figure it out up to that point, so I have no wish to address this setup, ever again.

Cheers!

Been thinking of doing this to mine as well! Any tips/tricks? How long did it take you?

I bought the G2 brake paint kit. It was pretty easy. Just about 3-4 hours start to finish. Just make sure the temp is over 60 and under 80 and the air circulates from outside or to outside. Light 1st coat, moderate the 2nd and if any parts don't look perfect do a third. By the time you paint the 4th brake caliper it will be past 15mins that you did the first to continue to the 2nd coat on the 1st caliper. I'd recommend not installing the wheels until the next day. Directions say it's ok after 2 hours. Too easy to accidentally touch the paint.

Hardest part is not being able to drive the car, leaving it up on jackstands. I need a bike.

TRD Quick Shifter installed. The shifts are super short now! Much shorter than the Kartboy short shift kit, plus it's much cheaper at $135 than the Kartboy. This is in my top 5 mods I've done. Only downside was that my aluminum drive shaft, which has a slightly larger diameter, was not compatible with this mod. Since I like this mod more I removed the drive shaft and went back to the heavy stock drive shaft.

Just did the clutch spring removal mod as seen here. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35621

It only took 15mins! This may be the best 15mins of car work I've spent. I can tell where the clutch is engaging now instead of a guessing game of if the spring rotating is the clutch grabbing or if the clutch is actually grabbing. Only slightly heavier feel. Not to the level of a stonger aftermarket street clutch. I need to have everyone drive my car now to see how much different it is since I also just put in the TRD quick shifter, which shortened the throws drastically, much more than the much more expensive Kartboy shifter.

I decided the Nameless offset 5" muffler axleback was too loud going up hills so I'm selling it in the Northwest for sale section. I purchased the Invidia resonated Q300 and it's nice to be able to hear again! It is very quiet even with the catless UEL headers. I'd say in some ways it's quieter than when the stock muffler was on there catless. The stock muffler sounded kind of pingy and not pleasant at all. The Q300 is quiet with a slight deep growl. I kind of wish it was a little louder but I think I'm done trying to find the perfect exhaust for me. This is good enough. Part of me is tempted to go back to the stock catted headers, mid pipe, and put the Nameless axle back on again as that was the best sounding; not to loud, not too quiet with a great tone.
