Mods to do with TiC SSS

amg destroyer · 12-25-2007, 12:50 PM

I ordered the TiC SSS today (includes Kartboy short shifter, linkage bushings, front and rear shifter stay bushings, and the pivot bushing). I was wondering if there are any other mods that I should consider getting that would be easy to install while I am working on that aspect of the car. I am thinking about an SS clutch line and the Cusco Engine and Tranny Mounts. Any advice?

Sorry if this has been covered before. Thanks.

After some road tests, I must say that the rear diff bushings (race) + comfort outriggers are amazing. The solid feeling of the rear end is literally amazing. I don't want to make out the difference better than it really is, as I am sure my mind is trying to justify the "fun" install, but they are pretty awesme.

If you getting cusco engine/tranny mounts, hold off on them as these might get rid of most of the slack and you can save that money for something else. Also, order the crossmember bushings to go with the mounts.

Good luck man, I have the TIC SSS minus the kartboy shifter, but with the OEM STi SS, and the rear clunk killer, and honestly, I don't know why subaru did not do this stock. I can't explain how great it is hehe.

The TiC trans crossmember bushings are nice to upgrade at the same time as the trans mount (if you want to do both of those).

Since you're on the shifter upgrades, pick up a new knob from me too

it makes the car faster!

The rear diff bushings and comfort outriggers sound like a good mod. Thanks - I will definitely look into them.

I plan on ordering one with my next order from TiC. They were just out of stock today.

Also, where does "Unabomber's Sexy Rearend" (klunk killer race with whilteline subframe lock bolts) fit into the equation? Sorry, I'm sort of a n00b at all this drivetrain stuff... Thanks for the patience.

clunk killer and outrigger bushings are located on different part of your car, so that doesn't really help while chaning out the shifter and bushings. Only thing that I would do while doing the shifter bushings is to change out the tranny mount and bushings for the transmission because tranny mount should be dropped for installing the shifter bushings.
If you want, you can probably do outrigger bushings while doing the shifter bushings since it's very easy but as for motor mounts and klunk killer, I would do that some other day because shifter bushings itself takes awhile and wears you out after you're done.

Personally I've got every bushing that TiC has got to offer on my car...LOVE IT! Each bushing was installed at different times to see if I actually noticed something...and I say go for it! Clint's customer service is insane...and those little army parachute dudes will give you endless fun!

Of course, you could always install them all at once and get one major bushing-tastic joyfest...but I just figured I'd enjoy my mods in a timely manner.

+1 for TiC Super Shifter Set, and another +92389287324231 for the Unabomber's Sexy Rear End.
