I might end up throwing a little of Ford XT-M5-QS in there. I'll see how it turns out first though.
That's what I have put in! So far I like it, it gives a bit more feel on my shifts. I am trying to get back to the feel my Integra had, which I always likened to a working a bolt action rifle. a very nice mechanical and precision feel.

Finally took my car to Mazda to have the "gunk" cleaned out of my axels so they stop clicking... Thank JEBUS! That was an annoying 2 years until I figured out what it was.
Here is a video of my car my friend took while on a cruise with another friend in a Cayman R (there is a video of us seeing who's investment was better, if you catch my drift, if you search through that users videos) ENJOY!:

And changed the tranny fluid on an older Subaru for a friend. The oil was pitch black and I felt like i was panning for silver..... sucks to be him lol

Ive been trying to do a 13gal fillup foooorrrreeeevvvvveeeerrrrr.....and it will never go past 12.9. Its eally amazing. No matter how bottomed-out that needle goes or how long the dte has been on 0, that 13gal still eludes me
I went 30 miles past the point my trip odometer said 0 miles to go
Are you the Terminator?
I don't have the bravery to drive 10 miles after the light pops on.
Today I gave it a good wash over at the local coin car wash. I am pretty sure there is no clearcoat left on the wheels
. Sadly that will have to wait until I can afford the repairs. I don't want to have to get different wheels, although I may like some RX8 or MS6 wheels down the line.Installed JBR heavy shift knob... Im amazed! its weight alone has smoothed out the throw 10 fold ... its almost like it steamrolls over the uneven "clunkyness" of the stock throw.
only gripe is the sharp edges the shifter has. if James smoothed out or rounded the top edge of the knob it would be perfectly comfortable.
other than that, everyone should own this knob. no question.

I have the same knob and the ridges in the side can pinch too. Wait till you use it a while, but they could use some chamferring too. Other than that, I agree w/everything you said, plus the fact that's not bare metal and doesn't get as hot or cold as bare metal would.

I'm seriously considering treating myself to one of those knobs right now....

Not wise. Your fuel pump relies on enough gasoline surrounding it to stay cool. Run it that low and you run the risk of burning up the pump, my friend.
Lol!
I'm the same way. Where I live it can be 15-20 miles between gas stations, that light comes on and I get antsy. The lowest I've gone is 8 miles left, good to know I could go farther if I had to!
