The seals cold use a refreshing after 12 track days. They aren't that bad but figured as long as they are getting torn apart from powdercoating might as well put them back together with all new seals and dust boots.

What color is your shift knob? I can’t really tell on this crappy work monitor. It looks like a perfect match to the interior trim.

Yeah it matches really well. Its their "titanium" color.

You can order a "color pack" from them that includes a bunch of different color washers including red. As far as the height, its about the same as stock, but I like it because you can grip it differently. Just a wierd personal preference, but I like grabbing the shaft rather than the head... :wtf2: :supergay: ...but seriously I can't think of any way to explain it that doesn't sound ghey so might as well go all the way with it.

:icon18: i see what you mean. hmm i'm more of a head grabber as of late:roflpuke2:. when i shift into 5th and sixth i usually push it away instead of pulling it away.

yes I do. I will bring a sample to SEMA for you. Its called fire red, and its really neat in person.

Not much going on here lately unfortunately, but I did recently get some FX Carbon Fiber film to try out. It's really pretty sweet stuff, its textured like real dry CF, reflects light the same as real dry CF, and looks flat out awesome. I only had enough to have my rear bumper valance done, but will be getting more soon to do some other small things like mirrors, front fangs, and maybe the roof.

Swift Spec-R springs on order from Scott@FontanaNissan! :happydance: ETA next week.

Was saving up for coilovers but it was taking too long so I decided to go springs instead since its just a daily driver and use the leftover money as a good start for my exhaust fund.

Nice to have you back!
Which exhaust are you going to go with?
I like stillen exhaust but the damn muffler is too restricted...
:shakes head:

Berk Technology exhaust hands down. Not even considering anything else.

Nice choice on the springs Mike! I am really interested in your opinion on them once you get some seat time, I love mine so far but you have a lot more experience than I am at discerning suspension setups.

M.Bonanni 12-30-2010 03:39 PM

Change of plans on the suspension setup. Springs are out, going back to BC Racing ER Type coilovers! Couldn't pass up this deal. :)

Same, just the off-the-shelf 12/10 setup.
