Not my first choice in rims but still better than stock. I'd be excited too.

How much lighter than stock are they? Also 0.5" wider right?

I've been trifecta tuned for a long time prob 50K kms. I've had some warranty stuff done with no problems. I suggested the tune because after tuning there is no way I could ever go back to stock tune. Really transforms the car.
Of course HPT is your best bet. money and time will need to be invested.
Trifecta is cheap and fast.
After getting the hurst STS the car does feel much better however it still does not shift as nice as hoped for. Maybe the BPS will be better.
I still think you should check your roll pin it literally takes 5 seconds Bring it to my work and I can check if you want

And Dustin if I go back to Gimli it will be with meth and a HPT

the irony is that in his last post, he's misquoted me - which would make a profound difference.

I will continue to offer my advice, as i always have.



You want some LSJ wheels?
What's this great price you found??
Jon you are high on christ if you think you have ever riled me up.

I have a quick question for you Jon, If you were so concerened about keeping your warranty (warranty that replaces broken parts) why did you purchase a second (almost complete) SS/TC?

I found the issue and it's with the cable. I think I fixed it properly now but only time will tell.

Anyone notice during the colder months your car wouldn't "pop" when using NLS?

People NLS in winter?

Us tuned folk don't NLS. It puts un-needed strain on the transmission.

Its a selling feature, has almost zero performance value.

Dry highway merging and that kinda stuff. Keeps driving interesting. I've definitely noticed it helps a ton when doing highway pulls with a STi last summer.

In a race NLS definitely helps. I'd like to have NLS but don't want to spend the $200 on a wot box just for it.

Won't be much of a stretch. Better than too much tire for the rim. Guys running 235's on a 7" rim. I imagine it'd handle like garbage in anything but a straight line.

I suggest everyone research how the NLS works in the ss/tc and report back with results.

So finally paid for the shifter. Now it's a waiting game.

Final cost after shipping and tax was $208.73. That's including base bushings. I think it's pretty reasonable.

Apparently it changes timing and stuff aswell. My brothers friend said he saw my car shoot a small flame last fall.
