Great work Orchid and nice to see those great quality mods. Did you install the hybrid base bushings to pair with your shifter?

Thanks! I did buy a set but someone said they were not needed with this shifter?? So I dunno what to do with them lol.

If the Hybrid is anything like the Acuity...Install the bushings, with a little bit of o-ring lube on the rubber surfaces. Game changer.

***Edit: I called them the wrong name. It’s the optional cable bushings that are needed

Very cool find. Good luck with the build. Do you have an estimate of what it’s going to cost in the end?

Acura TLX PMC red

Yeah exactly, the car is already depreciated in value. If I do change it, I would want red I just don't know what variant.

So beautiful, I bet that would be some pricey paint lol.

A CTR in that color red would be killer!

Installed fans and condenser on the Koyo rad. Also going to test fit the inlet my buddy tacked together, still needs to be fully welded.
