I kid, I kid! I do wonder though how much weight reduction removing the OEM wheel and airbag netted you? Man, ate you considering taking this hobby to the next level and doing some amateur racing (unless you already are)?

I have already removed all the airbags in the car. Even the steering wheel. From the best I could tell it was about three pounds.

As far as it goes to what level I'm going to take it to is hard to say. I love to drive my car on the streets and not ready to lose that completely yet. I want a balance of both street and track. In which you can do a lot of track related things to the car and still be good. I just want the most from my track days. I'm thinking of yanking the radio and speakers out now. And the battery reloction kit is coming also. Next year might be my big step with glass and AC.

I really can't wait for the steering wheel. After installing my race seats they sit higher than stock. I hate it. So with the removable steering wheel I can remove the sliders (also removing weight, hehe) and mount the seats to my brakets only to make them lower.

Spohn you are really getting serious. I've had vehicles without radios and didn't miss the radio. I owned a 1964 Plymouth Fury with full cage and racing seats. It was setup for dragracing. As I always say "the only person that has to like your car is you. Do whatever you want to do."

SPOHN · 02-10-2012, 08:03 PM

Bought a Nardi steering wheel with hub and quick release. Awesome.

I am still undecided about Koni install tomorrow due to a rather large domestic to do list.

Mr.onzedge, just put 'Koni Install' on the top of the 'domestic to do list', problem solved!!

mr.alcheng- yep, dinner was superb!

but i do the dishes...

it all works out though. kid goes to private school on saturdays so this is like any week night for us. he needs to finish up homework and get his stuff ready for tomorrow.

for me, packed up the ti knob ready to ship out tomorrow.

happytheman · 02-10-2012, 09:29 PM

I knew that once you got that PWJDM, you'd be selling your TI!

that's ok, because I sold my TI almost two months prior to getting my PWJDM.

hahaha, the ti knob is pretty good though. i liked it. was planning to use on my G but it just looked too tuner for the G's interior.

the PWJDM one is okay, i dont like the decorative stripe they put on there as i had to file it pretty much half way to rid burrs. im going to try a couple other knobs i have in my parts bin and might get the biggy TypeR from TWM later on.

Yeah, you know that I'm all

over that knob too don't you? I tii think about it. Perhaps someday, but for now I'm pretty happy with the PWJDM.

kenchan · 02-10-2012, 09:46 PM

here's the biggy typeR.
Big Type R Shift Knobs - TWM Performance Weighted Shift Knobs

i have the normal typeR on my G in satin. perfectly matches the interior on that car.

happytheman · 02-11-2012, 09:53 AM

Wow!

This post comes to you very nearly 12 hours after the last post on this thread!

Today I'm going to give her a bubble bath and put on her new wipers.

dAvenue · 02-11-2012, 10:11 AM

Good morning Happy.

So last night, my 16 year old cat tipped over a water glass onto my new MacBook. Ruined it. I guess this is what happens when old meets new.

Itching to drive the Z today, though. That always makes me smile.

happytheman · 02-11-2012, 10:17 AM

Good morning dAvenue!

OMG!! $1600 gone! Did you have accidental damage coverage? Tervis Tumbler FTW!

dAvenue · 02-11-2012, 10:21 AM

Nope. It's a total loss. The only good news from this is the next MacBook gets released in March.
