im at work, otherwise it would have been done already. im a little worried though. even now shifts still seem a little bit sloppy. 1 3 and 5 still have a little bit of spongy feeling to them. 2 4 and 6 all feel solid. the pull motion on the cable is good, but the push seems off :( i think i fubar'd the cable. sadness, might need a new one.

on a lighter side anyone think 18x8.5 enki rpf1's in 40 offset would look good? i might place my order today :). lol.

That cable assembly is really expensive. I believe around $350. Just a heads-up.
 
My Car is Offically F/S.

i was going to ask if you felt a difference at all but your wayyyyyyyyyy to modded lol

well the throttle picks up better, although i have my ap map basically set as a 1:1 ratio in the throttle tables.. theres alot less jerkyness in 1st and 2nd then there was though.. so there was a difference.. Batou says hes got it placed different in his engine bay so im interesed to see the way his is setup and then ill try it out and see if it improves anything..
 
oh hey, damn that does look good in white. Sad you JUST got that kit and now selling the whole shabang. lol

Anyway, i meant mine was different than the install pics that the website showed.
It actually looks like you have have done it the way i have it.

From the neg battery terminal, looks like you got a short line running to the right, the bolt holding the battery bracket to body. from neg terminal to throttle body? from throttle body to VC/block? from vc/block back to body?

essentally the same. only difference is instead of daisychain from TB to VC, i have a third line directly from the neg battery terminal (installed a terminal block) to the VC/Block, then daisy chained to body again.

TB response is definitly noticably better for me as im still mostly stock compared.

Finally swapped splash guards out today. My other was almost split in 2.

Also found a nice bubble in the sidewall of one of my tires. Didn't want to get new ones yet, but looks like I have no choice now.
 
i just realized i should get another line to daisy chain my TB to body, or just re-run it like you Gary! oops.

yeah i kinda looked at it for about 5-10 minutes and then installed it.. my main thing was getting the line under the IM so it would be hidden for the most part.. worked out well.. ill be giving FI a detailed review and pics this weekend.

edit: i just noticed something was unplugged in my engine bay pic.. lol.. you wouldnt notice it.. but the little plug that goes on top of the power steering pump is unplugged in the pic.. hahahaha.. ahhhh i pay way to much attention to little things..

UNDER the IM!? hmm... and i cant quite tell what your grounding point is and which bolt you used for your to ground to the block...

when you do your review, mind showing us close-ups of each grounding point too?
If you click my CD site link in my sig, go to the engine bay section to see close-ups of my spots.
 
boosted- your seats seem to have a different (much nicer) leather than the rest of us, have you had them recovered? or is that a build difference between my canadian and your US model?

Canadian and US Models are the same. It is a North American model.

I'd say it's just how he has taken care of the leather and the picture itself might show the color as being more rich than it is.
