Those are KB shift linkage bushings...

These are their tranny bushings:

Nearing an end huh? Bull****, I don't believe you'll stop pouring money into it :P

TheLimitedProject · 04-15-2007, 10:15 AM

Haha, everyone is calling bull-**** on me!

You guys are probably right... there'll never be an end.

PS, thanks Nandan... I did order the shifter bushings, not the tranny bushings

I need to order those and the engine mounts because it feels like the OEM bushings are soft like butter - everything is sliding around when driving hard.

Off to kartboy.com I go

edit: grrrrr, I wish TiC would ship to Canada

Pics just uploading... took a few yesterday

***nandanrp*** · 04-15-2007, 10:43 AM

Yeah Matt get the tranny bushings because if you do the TiC shifter bushings (which you should do at the same time you do the Kartboy front/rear shifter stay bushings

) you'll have full access to the tranny bushings at the same time anyways since you have to take out the tranny bracing. I didn't realize this at the time, despite people telling me so

I thought it would be extra work, but it's not, there's zero extra work to replace those.

awesome pics!

MKTURBO: Here's the paint I used...

Might be a bit different to what you'll get in the US, but should be the same'ish.

**Interior Flaire** · 04-15-2007, 12:34 PM

Those wheels really go with the white Limited. Nice! How much did you lower it for the summer setup?

Let's see:
RT615s, check
Volks check
V-limited lip check
Nice rake check
GT52 ready to go check
Sleepr FTW check

Yep, she's ready to go. Now, go have fun!

Damn that's sexy. GT52+FMIC+Meth? Gonna make a ton of power, built motor FTW.

***Szumita*** · 04-15-2007, 12:43 PM

damnnn, so nice. good luck.

***nandanrp*** · 04-15-2007, 12:52 PM

Your wheels suck. Feel free to send them to me so that I can quietly take care of them, so that you don't have to face the embarrassment anymore.

Umm...ditto for the rest of the car.

I'll PM you an address you can have everything sent to. I won't charge you for the work I do.

JiveMasterT · 04-15-2007, 12:54 PM

Wait your rims are 18s? How do those feel compared to stock? I've been considering 18s but I can't risk loosing grip and stuff like that... I drive the car too hard sometimes.

Finally. I can't even leave the house anymore - the shame is too great. My eyes are watering with joy, waiting on that PM.

Hopefully not needed (as per my discussion with Phil), but I'm saving and planning if that becomes an actuality.
It is going to make some serious power though

hehe

Yep, 18's. Honestly, they cling to the road like ugly chicks after you at the bar. I corner like a madman and the 18" 615's hold the road amazingly. I'm going to tighten down my c/o's a few more clicks though. A bit too much body roll for auto-x right now.
It's been so long since I drove the 17" RE070's so I can't give you a fair comparison.
