like nothing ever happened!

Insalled Swedeit alcantara shifter trims and gauge hood. Use OEM cores and the quality is amazing. Super easy to do using the right pry tools. Probably took me 15 minutes total. Would definitely recommend - look him up on facebook.

Removed ECU and sent it in:



While waiting for the ECU to return, installed eBay "STAINLESS STEEL HEAVY WEIGHTED ROUND SHIFT KNOB." It weighs 1.1 lbs and measures 2" across (vs 1.85" OEM). Shifting feels markedly more smooth and precise, that's before the next mod...



3M window welded the dog bone (still waiting for it to cure, needs 3 days). And will be swapping out the transmission fluid to AMSOIL shorty. I initially ordered 2 quarts but the CTR needs 2.3 quarts (so ordered another one and still waiting for it to arrive). My odometer reads 300 miles. Is there any harm changing the transmission fluid this early or should I let her break in at 500 to 700 miles before changing?

Sweet. How long did it take you to install it?

Around 3 hours. I was in no rush though, and really took my time. I messed with all of the adjustments for at least half an hour as well until I was happy.

If I did it again, I think I could beat Acuity's quoted 90 minutes without issue.

Toughest part for me was getting the metal clip that holds the cable to the ball on the lever of the shifter assembly to sit properly. I can break down the console in 5 minutes, but I'll sit there dropping that clip over and over again for an hour.

Washed for C&C tomorrow morning, and a sticker install on the lower spoiler extension

Was making a few more sets of front mud guards this morning, decided to make myself some rears. Lol, not too bad for eyeballing it.

Also finally re wrapped my spoiler

Going through the same shit myself...How bad was it and how long did u wait?

Need to tune it still. Some songs sound horrible, some too much bass, and some good.
It's a start

Also got the ValentineOne installed on the mirror.

Which J's wing did you get? I was looking for the TYpe 2 wing but was told they discontinued it.

wait time is 6-8 weeks at least once gone.

titan 7 is sending me a set of these bad boys titanium open end lug nuts to try out. should arrive next week and will be anthracite color.

they're patent pending and titan 7's obsession with weight savings like their fully forged 10k pressed wheels. these use standard 19mm sockets even though they have unique spines on them.

initial info from titan 7:

- Unique spline design that utilizes any 19mm sockets
- Size M14x1.5P for FK8 application
- Colors: silver and anthracite
- List pricing: $320 for silver and $340 for anthracite
- Availability for ordering: about 1 month
- Sold by: Titan 7 direct or authorized dealers

installed the flex fuel from sirimoto. I ended up putting the gauge inside so i ran the wires to the cabin. Ran it clean so almost no wire from the ethanol sensor / ECT2 is visible.

also made a custom bracket for my mishimoto cause the flex fuel bracket gets in the way. Trying to think of a better way to get those bolts to look oem also.
