Went to the store to pick up some choks when I bumped into an historic car show. I don't know what's historic about a srt10 but you know... beast!

Vanquish, beatles, prowlers, f100 and more cars that were beyond my time.

Saw a guy with a Nissan engine in his vanquish + another with a 240zx...

After seeing so many nice cars I got a bit spirited in my drive home and took a few detours and kinda accidentally intentionally rev'd all the way up till it limiter kicked me... Mileage?


omg you talk to your car too? I always apologize when I shift like crap... tell her how much fun and pleasure she gives me. Then my girlfriend is like 'I know you're not talking about me'

blackcherry20

of course. He's my sexy boy. (Lol-i never talk to him in front of people-hubby and kids already think I'm nutty about him)

all better. had the bushing installed today at the cost of 4 labor hours. also had the gt-spec lower control brace installed and a subsequent alignment.
now to clean off the gunk left behind. oh and did i mention the bushing is AMAZING? my shifts are buttery smooth again. and i noticed there is a slight hum when decelerating now, but hardly noticeable

Zerocool

def. want to look into new dif bushings

nice! glad to hear there was at least some advantage over the stock one after all the hassle.
now go


is urs leaking? for me, i wouldnt bother changing it unless it leaks. my 10yr old G's bushings are fine too.

how hard are you guys driving your cars btw? do you track them?

chops

honestly, even if you shift hard sometimes, its only a matter of time before it goes. when it goes you have a dirty mess and a really bad shifts (unless you slip the clutch alot). i bought 3 quarts of redline mt-85 to change the trans oil this week before i noticed the diff bushing gone. i have 40k miles on mine with ~5 track days and im guessing mine went out in the last 5k miles.

i wish i wouldve changed it sooner, before it went out as a preventative measure. would've attempted a DIY instead of pay someone 100/hr to install it (properly)

kenchan

40k miles and 5 track days is not bad i suppose.

Purchasing some new-to-me RE-11 tires today. They come with Sport Rays, too

I saved on shipping by buying sorta local (Houston), and it looks like I'm gonna get free delivery to my garage

Thanks, guru!

I'm leaving a bit early today to head down to COTA and find out if Nismo USA left me any tickets for LeMans this weekend. If so, we'll be catching the last WEC practice session today.
