Nice. Really nice. What's next? I see a highport intake cam, pulley set, and G20 ECU in your future.

Thanks guys.

Nice. Really nice. What's next? I see a highport intake cam, pulley set, and G20 ECU in your future.

Yes, I totally agree with all those mods in the future. I just purchased some AGX/GC coilovers and an BIB RSTB that need to be installed soon. I also have a B&M SS that I need to install too.

Hehe, yeah. That's exactly what Wayne said. I totally agree. Unfortunately, its too cold to paint right now.

I think darker wheels should look great on the car, especially those Rotas perhap?

Is you shifter vibrate harsh? why the ES shifter bushing? I was thinking doing mine. Did you order direct from them?

I think I might paint the wheels bronze in the spring when it's warmer.

No my shifter doesn't vibrate much. I haven't installed the B&M or the ES bushings yet. When I install the B&M I will also install the ES shifter bushing and the ES solid shift mount so that the shifting is nice and firm.

I still need to buy the ES shifter bushing. I'll probably get one from GSpec or Go Fast Depot. They are only a few bucks. The solid shift mount and the B&M I bought in the classified section on this forum.

Yeah. For sure. I'd like to see your B13. I think there are a couple other guys/gals on the forums that live here too. Maybe a mini-meet sometime.

Thanks man. The inlet to the muffler is 60mm so like 2.37". I don't have a sound clip yet. I don't have a video camera so I need to borrow my sister-in-laws next time I see her.

Yeah I'm not too happy since the merger with Sirrius. I miss The Rhyme. I listen to Shade 45 and The Joint for the most part.

Pretty easy job. Only part that sucks is trying to recess the caliper piston with a pair of needle nose pliers. If you plan on doing this job, do yourself a favor and buy this disk brake piston tool. Makes the job so much easier.
